We've had ours for around 8 months. They drink a lot of water!! Ours is pretty docile, but still gets pretty distracted by other dogs and still has no road sense at all. He should grow out of that though. Consider repainting the inside of your house in washable paint as their drool/wet beards get shaken all over the house. A very lovable dog though and I wouldn't trade ours for the world. Also the dog for you if you love very long walks. Ours is happy for a 5 minute walk, but can also do hours on end without looking tired. If you get one, your couch is no longer yours, it the dogs. I hope you find what you're looking for as a spinone is a cracking dog!

The best dog n the world. Advise. Buy stock in papper towels My Cosmo is going to be 2 yaers old and we love him m wife not so much

Mine is 7 years old now. She is my best friend. The most obedient and docile dog I've ever had. She stays in the backyard when I'm @ work, then when I get home she plays, watches tv. etc. Let me put this way, If I could teach her how to read and write, I wouldn't need certain people in my life. Yes , she is that smart .

Just started looking at having a Spinone but think they are too big for us , is there any similar looking breeds that are smaller?

Lagoto Romagnolo. It will also find truffles.
