We first came upon Spinone in the early 90’s when we were looking for a suitable companion for our Giant Schnauzer, Hansel. The KC gave us the ISCGB club secretary’s contact details & much to our delight, we found she only lived a half hours drive away. We rang to arrange a visit & that was our first meeting with Linda Collins, of Wynsett fame.
Over the following years, we became close friends & when we were ready for another dog, Linda gave us a 3 year old w/o bitch called Gloria. Later that same year Linda had a litter from Gloria’s sister Gypsy and Lui (aka Sh Ch Wynsett Xcalaber) came .... (click to read more)

We bought our first Spinone in 1988 and have always had at least one since then. Currently we have two bitches, Tia and Jana, and a dog called Luca.

Having tried showing over the years, on and off with various dogs, the only real success we have had is with Tia and we are truely amazed that she not only gained a junior warrant but has also won 12 CCs. She was best of breed at Crufts in 2011 and in the same year her daughter, Jana, won her class at Crufts. What a fantastic day that was!

We don't work our dogs but they do have frequent extended walks, off the lead, in the South .... (click to read more)

I've been involved in showing, breeding , judging and working dogs for over 30 years. I enjoyed 10 years as consultant to the BBC regarding showdogs and aspects of canine health and breeding, following a career as a horsewoman. Dogs and horses are kind of similar...both blossom in good hands and the real joy is watching a character you have nurtured , grow into a confident and loving companion , able to do the task he has been chosen for.
I have been lucky enough to have had sucess in most doggy activities...The hard work is in the healthscreening and careful selection of dogs, so...the .... (click to read more)

I have bred and owned spinoni since 1993. I am interested in breeding, showing, judging, working, obedience and agility. To further my breeding programme I imported a brown roan bitch Bella in March 2006, and continue to enjoy visits to the Italian Raduno shows, not only for the wealth of experience available from the Italian breeders but for the wine and pasta!!

After many years of breeding CC and RCC winners, my proudest achievement is to have produced three Show Champions in one litter from my home bred Redrue Recital x Laerzio.

My interest and love of dogs began as far back as I can remember and I have never not had a dog in my life. Our first dog was a German Shepherd Tina who we sadly lost at the ripe old age of 14. Since then I have owned Boxers along with working terriers, and a rescue Parson Russell. It was after the premature loss of our last Boxer that we began our search for our next dog, we decided to look at a number of different breeds,for one that would be compatible with our Parson and with our young family. After much research we happened across the Italian Spinone and instantly feel in love with that .... (click to read more)

I have owned dogs of various breeds for the past thirty five years and during this time have enjoyed doing activities with them including showing, obedience and agility. My love of Spinone began fifteen years ago when I got my first Spinone, Fliss. I was warned that Spinone were " addictive " and that is certainly true !!! I currently own three Spins and a Border Terrier that thinks she is one.
