The Spinone Italiano is an energetic gun dog originally bred for hunting. Today, many spend their time as companion animals. Medium in size, loyal, and athletic, this dog would be great for an active family on the go.
The Spinone Italiano (the plural form is Spinoni Italiani) goes by many names, such as Italian Spinone, Spinone, Italian Griffon, Italian Wire-Haired Pointer, and Italian Coarsehaired Pointer. Despite their purebred status, you can find them in shelters and rescues, so adopt! Don’t shop!
