Nichi' home

Kennel NICHI is situated at IL CAMPERO, located in the Valley of Enza river, that divides two beautiful Italian regions, 40 kms far from A1 - high-way exit of Parma or Reggio-Emilia. 

Ours dogs live and grow out of stress, and are happy to run in the fields. Health is very important for us, that's why we choose to live in a country-side home.

Our breeding program is based on the OFFICIAL STANDARD which is the guideline for breeding well, that's why NICHI is recognized CHAMPIONS BREEDER and our line is the basement for many kennels all over the world.

Fabio and Nichi

All what you are going to see on this site is the result of years of efforts, of passion and of total dedication to these wonderful breeds.

But all these results, have been possible also through the help of our dear families, Mr.Lea and Ernani Wiederhofer and Mr. Teresa and Camillo Cesana, who, even if not always understanding us, have supported us in all ways.

A great thank goes also to our beloved son, Stefano, grown up surrounded by our dogs, that is a great help in our everyday life.

And last but not least, we found some good friends that have made all this possible:

- Our Veterinarian, a wonderful and nice person, Dr. Flavio Putto Caussono from Desio, and his whole family (please excuse our night calls);

- Our dear friend Luis Llin from Spain, a great breeder himself, that was able to perfectly understand our problems and was ready to discuss and to solve them with us;

- And Mrs. Ludovica Beltrame (sorry, Dr. Roberto!) who has had at home many of our champions, loving them and tolerating our weekend "kidnappings".
