The Spinone Italiano.

These dogs are just so cute.

I absolutely adore them.

It makes me sad that I have seen them so seldom.

I don’t even have that many photographs of them in my archives. Fewer than 200 images of the Spinone Italiano.

That’s not the fewest I have of any breed of dog, but it is significantly lower than many. Especially for a breed of dog that I find so darn cute.

I really hope that I see more of this breed soon. I have not photographed one in five years.

Photo details: NikonD300. Nikon 300mm f/4. Focal length 420mm. ISO 400. 1/500 sec. f/5.6.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today to see this photo of a Spinone Italiano. If this is the first time you have seen one let me know in the comments.
