About

A versatile tracker and retriever from northern Italy, this breed was once the region’s most popular hunting dog until the 20th century. It continues to be valued for its working ability, with its dense, shaggy coat providing excellent protection in thick undergrowth. In recent years, the Italian Spinone has gained popularity as a companion dog due to its gentle temperament and unwavering loyalty. Its slightly slower pace compared to other gundogs makes it an ideal walking companion. However, this breed is best suited for those who appreciate the "doggy" nature of dogs—it has a coarse coat that retains odors and a tendency to drool.
