Meet the breeder

I'm Holly F., the breeder behind Stella Del Nord Spinoni Italiani located in Lancaster, PA. We are a small, home-based kennel with large expectations. We're committed to breeding Spinoni Italiani of superior health, temperament, hunt drive and conformation. We love our dogs and what we do, and strive to place each puppy in an enriching and loving home.

Q. & A. with Holly

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We are dedicated to purposeful and ethical breeding to continue our phenomenal bloodlines. Our priority is quality over quantity, and our puppies are placed in loving homes that we have reviewed carefully.

  • What makes your program special?

    We produce dogs that excel in any chosen venue, be it in the home, field, or show ring! Our focus on versatility, conformation, and hunting skills in our pups is what brings our program to the front of the pack. And during the off-season our dogs make wonderful professional therapy dogs from the nursing home to the campus.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include white and orange, white, orange roan, and brown roan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
