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. The Spinone Italiano may look like a wise old dog, but they're a happy-go-lucky companion animal. Bred to hunt and gather waterfowl, this dog is as good of a hunter as they come. But they won't venture off too far from their family. They want to have eyes on contact frequently.

The Spinone Italiano does all jobs related to hunting, including pointing, setting, retrieving, and flushing. Spinone means "thorn," which is a reference to the wiry coat that can whip through thorny bushes as they flush out the game.

This sweet-natured dog has never met a person or canine they didn't like. They're friendly toward everyone, not counting small animals that they may feel inclined to chase. While in the field this dog is a tireless worker, but at home, they're laid back and love nothing more than being in the company of their family. Frequently described as patient, this gentle dog also loves kids. Make sure they get at least an hour a day of exercise. They should not be alone for long periods of time. They want to participate in all activities family-related!
