Italian Spinone
The Italian Spinone, known as Spinone Italiano, has the appearance of a hound with its elongated head, extended snout, and big floppy ears. These dogs are robust and well-built, featuring a coarse, wiry coat. The longer hair around their lips and eyebrows helps shield them while they explore the ground and adds to their noble appearance. Commonly referred to as the Spinone Italiano dog, this breed has a soft and friendly look. The name Spinone is derived from “pino,” which refers to a tough Italian shrub that these dogs are skilled at navigating through.
