Popular
with both commoners and nobility in the 1700's. It was
used for all types of hunting until the French Revolution.
After a long decline, it returned to vogue at the end
of the nineteenth century, and its popularity is till
high. Extremely robust and untiring, with an immediate
and statuesque point, an excellent sense of smell, and
oily, leathery skin that allows it to hunt in water
without ever becoming ill, it is the ideal dog for modern
hunting. At the end of the hunting season, the spinone
is an excellent house dog, since it is tranquil, clean,
polite, and good-natured.
