We will soon be doing a website upgrade and revamp so it would be great to hear your thoughts about the current one. What you like and don’t like, anything you find difficult to use, which sections you look at, how often you visit, the devices you view it on, any feedback is most welcome. We can’t promise to include all your requests but will try to accommodate as many as we can.
If you would like to take part, please complete our survey.
As part of our 40th Anniversary, we are celebrating UK Spinoni Champions and Show Champions. The final touches have been applied to the ISCGB produced book of UK champions.

It is with great sadness that the ISCGB wish to inform you of the passing of its long serving Patron Sig Valentino Vignola at the age of 92. Founder of the historic Del Benaco kennel.
Del Benaco dogs will be seen in many of our UK pedigrees and were amongst the first Spinoni to be imported to the UK.
Pedro, Quan, Quercia and Urania DB arrived in the early 1980’s and helped establish the breed here with the other early imports.
He was appointed President of the ISCGB in the mid 1990’s and continued in that role until becoming Patron in 2006, a position held until now. We remember him with great affection and send his family our heartfelt condolences.
