Where Every Paw Feels at Home.
Also known as Spinone
A shaggy, gentle gundog with a big heart and a slow stride
The Spinone is a rugged Italian pointing gundog with a wiry coat, built for steady work in thick cover. It is gentle, patient and people-focused, but slow to mature and sensitive to harsh handling. Beard, ears and coat need regular care.

Around 75 minutes a day for an adult, in steady walks with some off-lead sniffing. They are not built for speed but enjoy a long outing.
Yes, the breed is known for patience and gentleness. Their size and enthusiasm mean young children should still be supervised around them.
Less than it looks. Weekly brushing and occasional hand-stripping keep the coat tidy, while the beard and ears need cleaning more often.
