My fav a bracco italiano. beautiful. 
I lost my last spinone aged nearly 15 6 months ago. Beautiful temperaments. They really are lovely dogs. I do adore HPRs.

Hi @Deborah I am so sorry to hear of your beloved dog’s passing, 15 is a wonderful age but even so we never enough time with them. When you feel able to please share a little about your dear friend and yes they do have beautiful temperaments … I’m sure you have 15 years of truly wonderful memories.
Thank you
Angela

Lagotto Romagnolo, but I have an advantage there. I see loads of them hunting in Italy!
PS; they’re utterly adorable of course.
PPS; not so sure now. The nose is right but the name doesn’t mean prickly 
Something like spinotto? Spine?
Oh, and how do I answer in picture form?

I didn’t mean technically.
I meant, how does one answer a question with a picture?

Post an image of the breed you believe is the correct answer … @Saltrams
Oh, right! Sometimes I just don’t have the same thought processes as normal carbon based life forms

@Saltrams excellent but that’s not to say you are correct 
Very similar; a lot like the dog in this group. Maybe it is the same, with a different name in France?

LOL, I really can’t see from the picture, the picture is too dark - although that may be part of the quest? Looks like a lion to me. Smile. Hopefully, some one got it right.

Ooh, you’ve got me there, Angela, but what about this breed:
- I am very cute with a soft coat and love nothing better than being on my sitter’s lap
- I was actually developed from what are now extinct breeds
- I come in many colours, including “Tobacco”
- My breed name is a big geographic giveaway and I am the country’s national dog

Is it the Maltese @Diggy?
Good guess but no

Yes! National dog of Cuba, hence the “tobacco” clue. A breed I had never heard of but, as my most regular sit (and local so I see him a lot) little Harry is very dear to my heart, especially when he races to greet me. The family call me “Harry’s nanny”.
The “topknot” is not of my doing (daughter’s idea) but Harry was not impressed so it had to go…
