A friend of mine who visits Italy often as part of his importing business has had Spinone for many years. He does NOT hunt them,tho; they are strictly pets. They seem to be very good pets and watch dogs and very obedient. They live inside with his family and are leash trained for exercise. He lives in Portland, OR in a fairly large house.
Hard to replace a Lab, tho. Good people.
If you like, I can find out where Pete gets his Spinone; don't know if it's in the Portland area or not. He may have brought the first one back from Italy.
I have seen some discussion of them as hunters on the website
