Puppies
WHY YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE A SPINONI PUPPY
- The dripping wet beard (this is from nose to eyeballs) that they drag over furniture, bare legs, cats, computers, etc..
- You like clean windows in car and home.
- You don't like cleaning slobber off the ceiling from those shaking jowls.
- You wear tights (front paws are a quick batting tool).
- Your cat objects to being stalked.
- You don't have lots of time to work with them as youngsters. Consistent socialisation takes about 12 months, and is a must.
- They question authority which can make training a challenge. You can’t make a Spinoni do anything (but you can ask).
- Much of the time they require your undivided attention.
- Sometimes, when they don't get their own way, they tend to sulk.
- They are smart, sneaky, conniving and manipulative.
- You object to water being left all over the floor after they've been drinking from the bowl.
- They can be diggers (like most dogs).
- They are 10 times more addictive than heroin. The habit is also more expensive to maintain. One will not be enough.
- You need to have a puppet/dog who never has an independent thought, never laughs at you, and anticipates your every wish.
- You prefer a dog with a dead nose who wouldn't know a quail/pheasant scent from the track of a BMW.
- They are EXCELLENT worktop surfers. They have also been known to open doors, refrigerators and turn on water taps.
Thanks to the breeders of Barba Bagnata ( = Wet beard ) Spinoni for the list!
