The Spinone Italiano is unique or, shall I say, just plain different from other breeds in so many ways, and one of those ways–a very important way–is its croup, tail set and tail carriage.

As lifestyles have changed so too has the role of dogs in our lives. Man’s best friend, to most of us, is a loyal companion who gives us so much love, devotion, joy, protection and finally heartbreak when an all too short life comes to an end. No longer do many of our Herding dogs herd, our Nordic breeds go in harness, our Terriers go to ground, our Sporting dogs and Hounds give chase, flush, point and retrieve, nor do our Bulldogs bait, our Poodles retrieve, on goes the list.
by Lisa Dube Forman The shrinking of certain breeds’ gene pools is not a new topic. It has been widely discussed and debated with countless articles, research papers, and dissertations written on the subject. Not long ago, an authoritative report was published in my breed’s national magazine written by Dr. Silvan Urfer, DVM, researcher and author [...]

My first introduction to “the greats” of our sport was a little unconventional. It was in Lakeland, Florida, I was twelve, and said “greats” were stuck on-site in a motorhome. They were also desperately in need of two cart-fulls of groceries to celebrate their recent Best in Show wins. My mentor and I divided and conquered–each taking a cart and scrambling around the store to collect what they needed. I remember pulling up to the massive truck, trailer, and what seemed to be thirty or more x-pens. I was enamored; I’d never met one of my idols before. They thanked us generously, and we went on our way, but in just those few moments, I knew I needed to play a role in an operation like that one. I would, just three years later, go on to work for them and continue to shop for those Best in Show dinners. Sometimes, I wonder what would have happened to me if they hadn’t asked for my help that day. Would I have ever felt like learning from them was possible?

Impossible? I am not so sure, but we believe we must multi-task to get everything done in a day. However, it does take [...]
So much about our dog sport literally came from a split-second moment via the talented eye of a dog show photographer. There are also some quirky, funny things that happen to them while on the job.
