Recent years have seen the popularity of the Spinone Italiano soar due to their friendly, adaptable nature, and they make as effective a gun dog as they do a loving family pet. They are generally of a sweet disposition, but they can be fairly fussy when it comes to training and may refuse to do tasks they deem pointless unless they are offered a treat or an exciting toy as a reward! Though active outdoors, inside they are happy to take it easy and enjoy snuggling into their dog bed!
