LOL! Cute name. I'm very familiar w/most breeds, spent most of my previous life showing dogs. Love the Spinoni Italiano and glad that they finally got recognized by the AKC. I love that scruffy look :lol:

So do I!

You show? Thought so, only a person "exposed" or involved would know what a Spinoni is! :lol: :thumbup:

No, no, no....not what I meant - oooops! I meant I liked the scruffy look, too! I discovered Spins at a gas station. The couple next to me had one in their car and it was love at first sight...then onto the internet to explore!!

I like the first one. It really makes the plates stand out :-D

I vote for the 1st one also, makes the plate really stand out!

I think it depends on what look you are going for. If the "plate" is going to bring those colors into the room you are using it in and not just to show off the "plate, then I think #2 is best. If you want to show the "plate" off, then I like #3. My suggestion would be to keep your audition staged just the way you have it, maybe keeping them in different rooms of the house so they don't complete loudly with one another. Don't concentrate on them, just allow them to be where you'll see them now and again. I'll bet one will start to feel more right than the others. When it does, that's your choice. And your grandmother may have been helping in that process still.

Ohhh, *DOH*! :lol: Good for you! He's so cute! :lol:

Hmmmmm .... okay, I'll try that! Thank you Mimi!
