About
Italian Spinone
A square-built
dog with human-like eyes, the Italian Spinone
is an excellent swimmer and retriever. His
great strength and stamina make him suited
to hunting in all types of terrain including
cold and deep water.
He is superbly intelligent
and enthusiastic but will not do a command
unless he understands why. His mind and body
must be kept busy to keep him from getting
into mischief.
He is pleasant, happy and
easy-going. He desires to be with a member
of the family – preferably on top of
them. He gets along well with children and
other animals. He travels well. Socialize
him well and start obedience training early.

Some fur stripping is need for

Check nails.
He needs a securely fenced yard
as he is also a jumper and tunneler.
