Our First Charisma Litter
We are thrilled to announce the arrival of the first Charisma Kennels Cirneco dell’Etna litter!
We have waited until we felt we had the right dogs, knowledge, and understanding to contribute thoughtfully to the future of the Cirneco breed. We couldn’t imagine a more fitting pairing with which to begin than very own Teo and Gigi.
Both are AKC Champions who exemplify the breed’s type, athleticism, and versatility. More importantly, they are wonderful companions whose temperaments reflect everything we value in a Cirneco—intelligence, affection, confidence, and a willingness to work with their people while still retaining the independent spirit that makes the breed so unique. Needless to say, they compliment each other beautifully!
Structurally, each parent dog brings strengths - Gigi’s beautiful outline and balance pair well with Teo’s strength in movement, creating a combination we believe has the potential to produce sound, athletic puppies capable of excelling as companions, performance dogs, and beautiful representatives of this ancient breed.
