The origins of the Spinone are unknown.[1]Template:R/superscript Rough-haired dogs of pointer type have been present in the Italian peninsula at least since the Renaissance. In a fresco painted by Andrea Mantegna in about 1470 in the Camera degli Sposi of the Ducal Palace of Mantua, in Lombardy, in northern Italy, a dog of this kind is shown lying under the chair of the duke, Ludovico III Gonzaga.[1]Template:R/superscript Jacques Espée de Sélincourt, in his Script error: No such module "Lang". of 1683, says of griffon dogs that "the best come from Italy and from Piedmont".[5]Template:R/superscript[6]Template:R/superscript

The modern Spinone originated in Piedmont, in north-western Italy, in the nineteenth century and was for some time the most important hunting breed of that region.[1]Template:R/superscript During the Second World War it was much used by the partisans, both to track enemies and to carry food.[1]Template:R/superscript After the War, breed numbers were much reduced; a breed society, the Famiglia dello Spinone, was formed in 1949,[7]Template:R/superscript and the breed was reconstituted from about 1950 onwards.[8]Template:R/superscript The Spinone was definitively accepted by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale in 1955.[9]Template:R/superscript A second breed society, the Club Italiano Spinoni, was established in 1973.[7]Template:R/superscript

In the period from 2010 to 2018, new registrations in Italy varied from about 400 to about 650 per year; in every year, the orange-and-white colouring represented slightly over half of the total.[2]Template:R/superscript

Characteristics

The Spinone is roughly square in outline when seen from the side – the length of the body is approximately equal to the height at the withers. It is a strong, well-muscled and solidly-built dog suitable for hunting over any kind of ground. It swims well and enters cold or deep water without hesitation.[8]Template:R/superscript

The coat is rough, thick and flat, with little undercoat; it is about Script error: No such module "convert". long, rather shorter on the head, feet and front of the legs. Hair on the eyebrows and lips is longer and stiffer, thus forming a thick moustache and beard.[5]Template:R/superscript It may be: solid white; white with orange speckling or markings; white with chestnut brown markings; or brown or orange roan.[5]Template:R/superscript

A 2024 UK study found a life expectancy of 11.9 years for the breed compared to an average of 12.7 for purebreeds and 12 for crossbreeds.[10]Template:R/superscript Neurological disorders that have been identified in the breed include cerebellar abiotrophy[11]Template:R/superscript and idiopathic epilepsy.[12]Template:R/superscript
