Volpino Italiano

The remarkable Volpino Italiano is a rare breed of Spitz-type dog with its origin tracing back to ancient dogs from thousands of years ago. Regarded highly by both royalty and the public in Italy, these magnificent canines remain largely unfamiliar outside their homeland today.

With an unmistakable foxy face and a coat of plush fur, the Volpino Italiano is often confused with its close relative – the Pomeranian. These small dogs are incredibly loving to their families, effortlessly getting along with other pets or children in the house. However, they still require plenty of attention as these active pups don’t take kindly to being cooped up indoors for too long! Owners should be prepared for high exercise demands from these furry fellows.

With a plush coat and fox-like face, the Volpino Italiano is an adorably small Spitz breed that bears resemblance to Pomeranians or American Eskimo Dogs. They have sharp facial features such as pointed ears, tight noses and round dark brown eyes that give them their “foxy” look. Their body structure is compact yet square with fine boned limbs while they must always carry their furry tail curled over their back. The word ‘Volpino’ itself translates in English to mean ‘fox-like’; making it easy for anyone to understand why this little dog stands out!

The Volpino Italiano is known to get along well with other animals when they were introduced as puppies. They will often engage in playtime activities, such as chasing each other or running around the house for hours on end. Though it’s normal for them to bark at new arrivals and unfamiliar people, incessant barking can be curbed by proper training during their young age if you don’t want this behavior from them.

The Volpino Italiano is a notoriously intelligent breed, yet can also be headstrong and mischievous. Therefore, their trainer should be patient and consistent to guarantee that the pup remains willing throughout their training sessions. Rewarding them with positive reinforcement will help foster an enjoyable learning environment for both you and your pet!

Despite their small size and background as a lap dog, the Volpino Italiano requires considerable physical and mental exercise. This breed requires daily workouts to keep them healthy and active. Not only do they need lots of space, but also adequate brain stimulation with puzzles or games you provide for them. They are extremely versatile when it comes to activities; anything from agility training to nose work even small game hunting will be happily accepted by this pup!

To keep their thick fur in top condition, Volpino Italianos should be brushed twice a week. If left unattended to for too long, the double coat can become matted around the neck ruff and rear limbs. To combat this problem, some owners choose to have their pooch professionally groomed every few months or perform monthly trimming of longer hairs on their hind legs and under the tail for hygiene purposes. Additionally, it is important to wipe away excess tear stains from beneath your furry friend’s eyes with warm water each day!
