The Italian Spinone is a hunt, point and retrieve gundog, excellent both as a working dog and as a companion. The first Spinone in Britain was thought to have been imported in the 1950's but the breed did not become established here until the 1980's and since then it has gone from strength to strength.

With the large number of Spinoni living in the south it was felt that the time was right to form a breed society that would enable Spinoni and their owners to get together regularly, have some fun and extend their knowledge of the breed without having to travel miles to meet up - Spinone and their owners do not like long car journeys!

We hold fun events, seminars and teach-ins, offer help and advice to owners and produce two newsletters each year for our Members.

MEMBERS NOTICE BOARD

GRASS SEEDS

Remember to check your Spinone's ears regularly for signs of infection and foreign bodies - try to keep the ear canals clean and free from excessive hair and consult your vet if you are in any doubt.
