The Southern Italian Spinone Society | |||||
|
|
We are an independent breed society founded in 1999 by a group of owners and Spinone devotees living in the South of England. Our aims and objectives are to promote ownership, safeguard the welfare of and provide education and advice on this wonderful breed of dog. 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.
