I saw a woman walking a dog the other day that looked like a white version of the dog "Sprocket" from the old HBO show "Fraggle Rock". I asked her the breed of the dog - I guess that annoyed her b/c she mumbled something like "spumoni" and quickly walked away. This dog looks like a muppet!! It is so cute - about the size of a labrador with long scraggly hair. It almost looks like a labradoodle, but much cuter. I consider myself very knowledgeable about almost all breeds but I can't figure this one out. Thank you!

Spinoni Italiani are cuties.
This is a bit off-topic, but the dog I think is really, really like Sprocket is the Tibetan Kyi-Apso. I'd forgotten about that show years ago, but the minute I saw this rare breed, "Sprocket" popped into my head.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU8cW
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

You heard her right, ( almost) I will post some pics
The Spinone is a versatile hunting dog of ancient heritage with origins in northern Italy. It has a very resistant thick skin and harsh coat well suited to the field. The breed has been characterized as a dog "...that does not hunt for themselves but for their master" and is "not too fast in their speed while searching out game". Their gentle disposition and docile temperament make them an excellent family companion as well.
Here are lots of pics: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&rls=GGGL,GGGL:2006-18,GGGL:en&q=Spinone&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi

Yup Spinone like everyone's saying. I met one at the dog park once. They're very good looking dogs!

Spumoni? That's ice-cream!
Maybe Spinone Italiano? You're right, it DOES sound like "spumoni"!
