Neapolitan Mastiff Italian Champion Achille del Regno di Sicilia

Already an Italian champion, Achille del Regno di Sicilia was crowned A.T.I.MA.NA. 2008 Champion, not only this but taking on this title in the mother country of the Neapolitan Mastiff breed, Italy. There is no question that

Achille del Regno di Sicilia is the complete package.

Achille is a product of a Sicilian Mastinari Giovanni Di Blasi, with the kennel label of Mastino Conca d’Oro. This Mastini is a result of by in large two separate bloodlines coming together to make that near perfect specimen that is rare in the dog world. Achille’s father is a proven stud, named Sicano Sine Die, a son of an Italian Champion Vilardo Arke Kunon Ronaldo, whom is also a son of another Italian Champion and much famed Brigante Del Castellaccio. These two affixes, Vilardo Arke Kunon, and Del Castellaccio representing very important bloodlines and kennels in the history of southern Italy. On the bottom of this pedigree you will also see important dogs from Palazzo, but again dogs from Sicily from Vilardo Arke Kunon.

The mother of Achille, Saetta Dello Stradone Vesuviano, are different bloodlines from Naples. A daughter of Goliath, whom in turn was a son of famous reproducer Taison Della Grotta Azzurra (grey). On the bottom of this side of the pedigree you will also see a selection based on Gennarino, whom is also a son of Taison.

The combination of the two lines, Sicilian, with bloodlines from Naples, is perhaps a modern day breeding of Di Ponzano lines bred to dogs from Napoli, making this champion at least in my eyes more appealing and interesting.

It is not only a pleasure to see such results from such breeding, and only a plus when one hears of the splendid Mastini temperament that Achille displays and inherited from it’s ancestors.

But what’s a champion of beauty if there are those other special characteristics missing in our breed? Achille represents to us Neapolitan Mastiff fanciers, a way to silence our critics, with out having to say a single word to the ignorant or haters of the breed, Achille del Regno di Sicilia is the complete package. Beauty, functionality, and Mastini temperament.
