A brown and white Spinone can sometimes be confused with a German Wirehaired Pointer by someone unfamiliar with the breeds. The Spinone should not have an undercoat. A long, soft or silky coat is undesired and is a sign of excessive grooming. The Spinone should not appear too groomed. Its extremely patient nature also helps with this, but children should be taught not to take advantage of this trait. It is loyal to those it knows and still friendly to those it does not. The breed is not known for any aggression, but any dog breed can develop fear aggression if not properly socialized during the 'window of socialization' from ages 6 weeks to 14 weeks.
