Plans
Our 2025-litter:
To find the father of our next litter we have this time been on a longer trip to the very south of France. And as a most pleasant fringe benefit, we had a chance to enjoy early spring & French” joie de vivre” in a small unspoiled town in Southern France.
Thank you so much to Benedicte & Bruno for making this litter possible and all your kind hospitality! We really cherish these visits to top breeders around Europe as we consider this the most valuable and important source of new knowledge about the breed, bloodlines and breeding in general. And we came home this time yet again filled up with new knowledge and inspiration.
We really look forward to following the result of this combination. The father of the litter mostly represents bloodlines new to our breeding and primarily based on the old French” Du Merle Blanc”´s lines. The mother is a” first time mother” and from our own breeding, representing more the 30 years of dedicated breeding here at” Il Cagnolino”.
Sire is the black stunning male:
GIBCH CIB Black Baraka Opus Optimus Opus is after the highly successful sire Black Baraka Master And Commander. Master have only sired a few litters, but all very successful. Among his offspring are the top winning Spanish MultiCH Ackra´s Neron and the ”Opus-litter” at Black Baraka: Opus Optimus, Opus Number One & Opus Appasionata. All 3 littermates of top quality. Masters father is CIB MONCH Nubiad´ Versace. A remarkable sire, that we ourselves had the pleasure to use for our wonderful G-litter (MultiCH Group winning Il Cagnolino Gemma and MultiCH Il Cagnolino Genghis Khan). Among Versace´s credits - and despite only being used very limited - he sired both World Winners in 2017. The mother of Opus is Graine de Star Du Merle Blanc. The result of several generations of old Du Merle Blanc breeding combining some other old French blood lines: Pitchoun Diables, De la Roche Hue and off course the still going strong ”Du Domaine des Chanteloup”. The last mentioned we ourselves had the pleasure to revisit two years ago.
Opus has sired some very beautiful litters, and we chose him for our next litter due to his consistency in his breeding qualities – also when used with females of different bloodlines. Among his progeny are: Black Baraka Ultima Vanite, Duttonland Beth Bombastic Blues, La Mora Super Charty and Black Baraka Prometheus. We feel very privileged that Opus´s breeders trusted us to use him. We will do our very best to live up to their trust! Temperament: With a sweet and gentle temperament so characteristic of the breed, and very harmonious/easy living together with other dogs.

Mom is our own: European Winner 2022 (Paris) INTCH NORDICCH ESCH DKCH SECH NOCH
Il Cagnolino Othilia Othilia is after the Italian beautiful sire CH Sobers Titus. It took us two trips to Rome to get our long-wanted Titus-daughter. In our first try we had 4 wonderful puppies – but no girls In the second try we got one female – our Othilia. Othilia´s mother is our own VWW24 MultiCH Il Cagnolino Jazetta. Jazetta is after CH Italo Dei Raggi Di Luna, who has sired several top winning dogs, among them the World Winner 24 in Zagreb (where his half sister, our own Jazetta, was Veteran World Winner). Jazetta´s mother is the top winning MultiCH Il Cagnolino Gemma. Othilia has given us many wonderful moments in the showring. Among the very highlights are Othilia winning the European Winner title in Paris – 2022. To win this title is historic no matter where the show is held, but to win the title in Paris, makes is extra special to us. In our opinion France is among the strongest in Europe in our breed. We are really looking forward to this combination with extra expectations as it will be the first litter after our top winning Othilia. Temperament: Sweet and loving, and with lots of energy – Othilia never misses an opportunity to run fast always competing with her mom Jazetta to come first. In and out of the door, patrolling the garden etc. As much as she loves activities such as long walks in the woods or at the beach, she equally enjoys to cuddle up in soft and warm blankets on the couch next to the two & four legged family-members. Othilia is the result of more than 30 years carefully breeding at “Il Cagnolino” and dating back to the very first Italian Sighthound we had back in the 80´ies.
