Spinone Italiano Discussions & Pictures / Spinonie Smells!
« on: September 03, 2007, 04:31:37 pm »
Hi All,
In the last couple of years our English Setter and Dalmation have passed away through old age. We now feel the time is right to get a new dog and were thinking of a Spinonie. I have been reading up on them and talking to people to try and get as much information as possible. Last week I was talking to someone that judges hunting dogs, they said Spinonies smell (real bad). Is that true, if so can it be managed by regular brushing, coat stripping and bathing, or is it caused by the oils in the coat?
