Originario de Italia, este perro de caza de tamaño mediano tiene un pelaje áspero y distintivo, así como un impresionante linaje de caza, lo que lo convierte en un excelente compañero tanto para aventuras al aire libre como para la vida familiar.
Temperamento
The Italian Spinone is known for its friendly and affectionate personality, making it an ideal family pet. They are gentle with children and get along well with other dogs, often displaying a calm and patient demeanor. Despite their hunting background, they are not overly hyperactive and enjoy a balanced mix of playtime and relaxation, making them suitable for both active and quieter households.
Consideraciones de Salud
The Italian Spinone is generally a healthy and robust breed, but like all dogs, it has some genetic predispositions to certain health conditions. Common health concerns in the breed include hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, and eye problems such as entropion or ectropion. Regular veterinary check-ups, along with early screening for joint issues and eye diseases, are highly recommended to ensure your Spinone remains in good health. They typically have a lifespan of 10-12 years. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight through proper diet and exercise is crucial to prevent obesity and reduce stress on their joints. Spinones may also be prone to bloat (gastric torsion), so feeding them smaller, more frequent meals and avoiding exercise directly after eating can help mitigate this risk.
