Another distinctiveness of the farm is the breeding of small animals as pets. In 1969 the doctor Giuseppe Torrisi established the "Cozzarelli's Breeding", recognized in 1973 from the F.C.I. (Federazione Cinologica Internazionale) situated in Thuin, Belgium, which recognizes the official standards of the different breeds suggested by the nation of origin. The Breeding was forerunner of the selection of schnauzer black giant dogs, a breed of dogs with strong personality, appeared in Germany after the 1900.
Originally the riesenschnauzer was used as watchdog and after for defence. On the Italian rings, Cozzarelli had many recognitions, and from the breeding came out champions all around Europe, included Germany. Thanks to the sacrifices, abnegation and passion of its founder, the breed was diffused very quickly, even in the foot of the Etna, and many lovers undertook the breeding; so that the patrimony, that cost years of hard work and sacrifices, did not go lost.
Another splendid dog, small but strong, that was breaded by the Cozzarelli's breeding was the "Zwergschnauzer" black and pepper-and-salt; that for its intelligence, courage, resistance and supervision was nicknamed "fearless". Even if not with the same care given to the schnauzer breeding, lot of passion was given for the imprimaturs to many puppies Siberian Husky breed; the famous husky dogs that even in the Etna, near the ski's school, have been admired by the lovers of this breed . The Siberian Husky is considered a likeable companion for its intelligence and docility, apart for being a hard worker.
