The Spinone Italiano, a distinctive and versatile breed, is celebrated for its gentle nature, intelligence, humorous antics, and exceptional hunting abilities. Originating from Italy, these dogs have a robust and muscular build, typically standing around 22 to 27 inches tall at the shoulder and weighing between 61 to 85 pounds. Their wiry coat is dense and water-repellent, coming in various shades of white, orange, or brown. They are non shedding and low on the allergy scale. As with any bearded dog, they require understanding when it comes to wet beards.
