The Spinone Italiano is a very talented hunting dog.  His tracking abilities are keen and his “soft” mouth retrieves game unspoiled.  The Spinone also has a terrific personality and is a gentle dog who is devoted and very willing to please.  They are considered more of a hound than a pointer and is not known to be a barker, whiny or bossy.
