ER yes, that is what dog posters are for and that is what they should be doing to demonstrate competency!

If they cannot identify breeds, they need educating. It is sort of vaguely connected to their job!

Those of us who vet homes and dogs understand how important it is that a square peg is not put into a round hole!

02-03-11 Bru is a 2yr old blind spinone. She is very sweet and trustful and she relies on you for guidance. She is much happier when you talk to her. Bru needs a quiet home where she can get the love she so desperately wants. Bru is very brave for a blind dog, she jumps up for a cuddle on a morning when we go in to let her out. She is a very happy girl that gets on well with other dogs and would love a home with another dog to be her guide or where someone is at home most of the day to be with her.

That was a quick edit.
Yes I can.. For the sake of the dogs their rehoming, and the owners that are taking them..& if their not sure, thats what they say.

It did not earlier! The same thread has been posted on other sites and forums, and people have discussed the dog not being a pure Spinone. I guess others may have contacted them?

I am not going mad, scroll down! Glad they changed it though.

Spinone cross is better, but even then it doesn't even look part Spinone to me. It could even pass for a Labradoodle!

It dose look similar'ish' to our lad, although not to much. Heads different.
I posted somewhere else about it looking like a Labradoodle. Have seen one posted somewhere else that looks just the same!

Heres our lads beautiful/dirty mush..Not quite the same as the one for rehome.

Ahh...seen the dog now. I agree, doesn't look anything like a Spinone. Lovely dog but appears to be more of a Labradoodlely type.

And one with a dry beard, the only way I like em!


I just don't think it has the look of a Spin, the ears, the expression etc. More than anything I'd say GWP!
