We get a lot of calls and emails (and they are welcome) from people who have never seen a Spinone, but have read about them in a book. Although they have wonderful temperaments and are loving dogs, they are really not for everyone. They are a large breed. This is something that is hard to judge when reading a book. Adult males are generally somewhere between 85 and 95 pounds. Adult females are generally 65 to 80 pounds. That cute fuzzy beard that you see in photos causes one of two things. At best, when they drink water there are little drips left around the bowl for about two feet. At worst, they shake their heads and drool goes flying onto any nearby object. Another common misconception is their energy level. While they can be very mellow, they can also be active and energetic, especially the first couple of years of life. They are a sporting breed, bred for thousands of years to hunt birds. So that instinct is still there. They need exercise. They need enrichment.
