Pook's Rise Spinoni - Massachusetts Spinone Italiano Breeders

I am a breeder of Spinone Italiano dogs. My puppies' parents come from Championship lines - Toby is the son of Westminster winner CH Dee Tias Julius Pleasar JH. My focus is to breed for sweet temperament and good health. The puppies are raised in my home from the day they are born to the day they leave for your home. They come from Cerebellar Ataxia free lines. Hips / Eyes / Elbows have been tested in the parents. No Spinone in either background are from the known CA, SAS, or epilepsy lines. A great breeding with four different lines in their pedigrees. Toby is the son of a Westminster winner CH Dee Tias Julius Pleasar JH. Grandsire Risky Business Uno Smurf is from excellent hunting lines (Nico Del Benaco). Toby's dam is Epithelium Rugiada. Serafina is from two different Italian lines, sire CH Otello Del Mucroni and dam CH Illumination Del Subasio. All four lines from Italy are from breeders who hunt their Spinone. Sire: Couchfields Tobias Too (Toby), SR 16649503 OFA (SI-743G53M-PI and SI-EL243M53-PI), CERF (SPI-658) and CHIC (64809) certifications Dam: Couchfields Serafina, SR 46353207 OFA (SI-808G26F-VPI), CERF (SPI-659) and CHIC (64842) certifications and SI-EL302F26-VPI A new litter was whelped on March 13th PLEASE EMAIL ME DIRECTLY at: pmariaholt@roadrunner.com for further information.

Our pup is the kindest, most gentle, laid-back doggy soul you would ever want to meet. He is wonderful with my children. He is very willing to please and truly wants to be your companion. Fantastic and classic Spinone temperament.

This is our first experience with a Spinone and we are in love. She is the most beautiful, gentle, happy, goofy dog you could wish for. She loves to run free in the woods where she is sure footed and courageous under all conditions. She loves everyone and everything (except squirrels!). She is great with children, loves to play, but knows how to be gentle. She even does laundry - well at least she sorts and eats it.
Maria Holt is an exceptional breeder. She has been more like family than someone who sold us a dog. She is always concerned and informed, with a great sense of humor that I'll swear our dog inherited. I could not recommend the breed or the breeder more highly.

Nellie is our second spinone and our experience with Maria Holt has been beyond comparison. We have a wonderful 75 lb female spinone that is truly part of the family. She is a delight to be with and is the perfect non-aggressive "puppy" as all the neighborhood kids will attest to. Maria has continued to inquire as to her well being and continues to show the caring she showed throughout the entire process of her matching the right puppy to the right family.

We have a dog from Maria's last litter. He is a beautiful, happy, healthy Spinone, who looks like his father Toby. Maria does a wonderful job of socializing the pups from the day they are born. She is a very caring breeder, spending a tremendous amount of time and effort caring for the puppies. Although I am not a hunter, Enzo shows great instincts in pointing & flushing the birds in our back yard. We also have another Spinone, who is a year older, from Toby and a different female. The Spinone Italiano is a wonderful breed, they have very sweet dispositions, and everyone who meets ours are very impressed, both by their looks and their personalities.

My Spinone puppy will be turning 1 on March 7, 2012 (last year's litter from Toby and Serafina) and he is such a delight. He's gorgeous, sweet and everyone who meets him falls immediately in love. My experience with his breeder, Maria Holt was terrific. She's very knowledgeable about the breed and raises all her dogs in a truly loving atmosphere. Maria was wonderfully generous with her time and I enjoyed many visits with the pups and their parents before I brought Reilly home.

Our puppy Watson is the most amazing "little" (90 lbs at 10 months) puppy I've ever been around. He is the kindest most gentle giant. He plays so sweetly with out 10 year old Wheaton and has NEVER been aggressive to anything or anyone (well except a dining room chair:) He is a perfect blend of his mom and dad and everyone who sees him says what a handsome boy he is...
Maria is an amazing breeder and once you meet her you can see why her puppies are so wonderful. My partner and I could not have more pleased with our puppy and will definitely refer anyone we meet who is in the market for a puppy to get Spinone from Maria!

Ms Holt is a very caring loving breeder of her Spinoni's. My puppy looks just like his sire but has his mother's eye color. He is sweet, calm, even tempered yet a bit stubborn. He is healthy and happy and gets along with all the other dogs and cats he has met and people he has met as well. Ms. Holt cares deeply about her pups and follows up with all the new dog owners.

Most wonderful dog ever with a very noble bearing- sire is Tobias from Pook's Rise - and my dog looks just like him.
