We were fortunate enough to get a female Spinone puppy from Stacy and Lorne last April. When we researched for a versatile gun dog a Spinone fit everything we were looking for. In short a work horse in the field, and happy to lay around a relax at home. Our dog has been all this and more. She is a natural in the field and continues to impress us with her athleticism, and temperament. We give great credit to the Collina d'Oro Spinone for their dedication to the breed.

We consider ourselves to be the luckiest pet owners around. The Belts blessed us with our Mia. Grand Champion Collina d'oro Deal Mia Diamond. The name really fits....She is a jewel. We are convinced that her breeding and first months of life has made her the wonderful girl we love. The Belts devoted their lives to this litter of puppies...giving us a well adjusted and loving girl that is affectionate and independent. It's a tough combination to find. They consider everyone of us puppy owners to be family and are always there for advice and encouragement. Next step is hunt titles for Mia and they're going to help us train her...We are so lucky. Be assured, a puppy from the Belts will be a jewel for anyone looking for a Spinone.

We have been blessed with 4 great bird dogs over the last 35 years, 2 Brits and 2 Labs, prior to our immersion into the world of the Spinone Italiano via Stacey Belt of Collina d'Oro. Her passion for the breed and her accommodating nature allowed us to meet her first litter of pups out of Tizzie 3 times before our Sophia chose us. This now 1 year old puppy is pointing flawlessly, retrieving equally well, working to the whistle, extremely soft- mouthed, and overall the most capable pup I've ever known. She is a super affectionate, well adjusted dog around the house as well as a super competent bird dog (since age 6 months). I have shot 200+upland birds over her this year, and she never ceases to amaze me. This is a direct result of great breeding and early and dedicated human contact from day one. I have recommended this breeder to many who have admired my dog, and will continue to do so. Best puppy experience of my life, and a phenomenal breed.

Our Spinone Italiano, Floyd (Collina d'Oro Pretty Boy Pink Floyd), just turned a year old this month and we couldn't be happier with him! We purchased him as a companion, but his desire to hunt couldn't be ignored. So with encouragement from his breeders, Stacey and Lorne Belt, we joined the local bird dog club. His instinct is amazing, and he earned his junior hunter title at 10 months - with an inexperienced handler!

As we continue with his training, Stacey and Lorne have been wonderful resources. They are always willing to discuss any topic that comes up, and their Spinone insight is invaluable. We'd only planned on one dog, but we've been so happy with Floyd, that we've started talking about getting another puppy!

I grew up with breeders in my family in Iowa hunting was huge! But Ive never seen breeders like this so committed and never hardly got any sleep. They converted their home basically to the safety and comfort for these Spinones. What they put into outside the same a haven for these pups! I had the pleasure to get to see the whole process after the pups were in a safety age zone to receive visitors.
Once again I didn't even know there was a time line until they could be around us. Thank You
