The  Spinone, also known as the Spinone Italiano, Spinone or Italian Griffon (Spinone is preferred as the breed is unique and indivisible) is an ancient breed dating back to as early as 500 B.C. In Italian, Spinone roughly translates as "very prickly" referring possibly to the wiry coat or the breed�s ability to hunt and bust through thickets in search of game. During World War II, the breed was almost lost but save for the efforts of enthusiasts in Italy who reconstructed and brought the breed back from the edge of extinction. A popular gun dog in Europe, the Spinone is a relative new comer to the United States. Attempts to establish the breed in the mid 20th century resulted in failure. During the early 1980�s another more successful importation of the breed was accomplished and this wonderful dog is now firmly entrenched in the U.S. having become AKC recognized in 2000. The Spinone Club of America (SCOA) is the American Kennel Club (AKC) recognized parent club. Breed standard is set forth and recognized by the AKC and can be accessed by going to the following AKC web address link:

The Spinone is a dog of rugged, solid construction being powerfully built with well developed muscular proportions and rough wiry coat which is useful for brush busting as well as water work. The eyes are described as "human like" and give the Spinone a startlingly intelligent look. An intelligent breed, easy to train and eager to please. The face is framed in longer hair that forms arched eyebrow, moustache and beard giving a "gentlemanly" look. Spinone come in brown roan with brown patches, orange roan with orange patches, white with brown and solid white. Grooming is made easy by the occasional stripping of hair from the body. The Spinone is a happy and enthusiastic breed. Very easy going he is always eager to please his people. Some would say you don�t own a Spinone, they own you! Spinone do require inclusion to the family and thrive on being with their people. A very low key breed not prone to barking unless a stranger shows up, nonetheless, exercise and room to run is essential to their health and well being.

Spinone have a personality that is clownish and a vocalization that is unmatched in its uniqueness. A series of low, guttural growls, ooh-ohhs and other indescribable sounds mark this breeds ability to communicate. Friendly to all the Spinone especially loves children and will play for hours on end. Like any animal, the Spinone needs to be treated with respect and love. Abuse will be remembered by the Spinone. From a hunting perspective, the Spinone is a versatile hunter utilized in both upland and waterfowl hunting. At home in the field as well as a powerful swimmer, the breed is an excellent pointer/retriever. Do not expect a Spinone to hunt in a fast flashy manner as some field breeds do. The Spinone is slower and methodical, working a field with great seriousness, detail and concentration. This can be misconstrued as a lack of ability due to the slower and sometimes seemingly non-chalant pace, but once hunted over, you will find the Spinone can rarely be matched for game finding ability and dedication to the hunt.

Even though the Spinone sounds like a perfect breed, he is not for everyone. Things to take into consideration: � Size: males run between 60-85 pounds with females 55-70 pounds. � Energy: Though relatively laid back and considered a couch potato at times, Spinone still require a large area to run and play. Hunting or field trialing is highly recommended to maintain the vigor and desire of the breed to hunt; he is bred to hunt and some type of field work is essential. � Attention: Spinone are constantly looking for your attention. If you don�t have the time or energy to devote to your buddy, then this breed is not for you. They require human interaction to maintain their health and vigor. � Scarcity: Due to being relatively new (mid 1980's) to the U.S, finding a Spinone pup can be a challenge. � Intelligence: They are exceptional in their ability to open things they shouldn�t; refrigerators, doors, cupboards, etc. Their innate curiosity can cause problems at times.
