About us

We are Allevamento Rione Castello, a business specialized in breeding high quality German Shepherds. Our passion for dogs and in particular for this breed is what drove us to open our breeding farm. In addition to selling puppies, we also offer boarding services, selling quality food and grooming for dogs of all breeds. Our facility is equipped with large and comfortable spaces to ensure the well-being of our four-legged guests.

Allevamento Rione Castello is a German Shepherd kennel and boarding house for dogs of any breed located in the Leventina area. Our history dates back to 2006, when our founder, Mr. Lorenzo Colucci, at the time just a boy had a deep passion for the German Shepherd breed defined by him as "the Canine Leonardo Da Vinci". His first puppy arrived when his father gave him a puppy he called Rocky, in 2019 he moved to Switzerland from Puglia, after Rocky's death, he bought Thyson Junior, still in breeding today. That's how day after day a real breeding program was born. With dedication and hard work, he carefully selected and imported high quality German Shepherds, focusing on their temperament, health, conformation and their genealogy.
