We purchased a Spinone puppy from Lynn in 2017. Rosie has been a delight. Everything we expected… She is 7 yrs old with no health problems. She is fun, loves to hunt birds, lizards and anything she can chase. Good with all other dogs, loves children and is my running companion. Trots 3 miles with me on the greenway, through the neighborhood or on the beach.
Thank you!

After much research, we talked to Lynn about a Spinoni puppy that was 14-15 years ago. He’s been joy. He’s strong and doing well. Tomorrow will be his 14th birthday.
Thanks Lynn!

Our Nine Gates Spinone just turned 11 and has been one of our family’s greatest joys over the last 11 years. She is sweet, loving, eager to please, and a huge clown. She’s a great family dog and we love her so much. Thank you, Lynn!!!

Our beloved spinone is almost 9 years old and we received her from Lynn Cox when she was 10 weeks old. Our spinone has always had the sweetest, kindest temperament. She is intelligent and loyal. We have definitely crowned her queen of our castle. I can't speak highly enough of this breeder. We have so much gratitude for Lynn Cox and the gift she gave our family.

I have only ever had one Spinone in my lifetime. We got her from Nine Gates, Lyn Cox in 2007. She was the most wonderful dog you could ever imagine. I can’t tell you what a perfect companion she was to us and our other dog, a Chocolate Lab named Gus. She lived a very long and healthy life and I highly recommend any dog that Lyn has bred or acquired. She has great dogs.
