WHAT IS A VOLPINO? Don't be fooled, if you see or have a little white dog that looks like one of these Volpino's but you were told it was an American Eskimo, then either you don't know the History or the Breeder does not know the history or the breeder is hiding the truth. Breeders went to Italy, bought a Volpino, brought them back to America, changed the name to, Toy American Eskimo. As time went by they did breed them to the American Eskimo so we don't know if the small Toy sizes are mixed or pure.
This dog is a type of Spitz in it's morphology and character, and dates back to 350BC.
The Maximum Height is 33cm (11 to 13 inches), uni-color white or red. It's coat has long, straight glassy, raised wavy hair around the dog like a m**f. It broke away from the common stock of the European Spitz dogs and has spread through out Italy since ancient times.
It was taken into lordly houses. The Volpino was loved by palace lords as well as farm and plebeian quarters, especially in Tuscany and Lazio. For unexplained reason but we do have our theories, with some newspaper articles backing them up, the numbers of this population declined continuously until it came near extinction. In Italy, 1965 only five subjects were registered in the Breed Book alive. Then it disappeared until 1984 when Enrico Franceschetti and the ENCI launched a recovery project for Italian breeds. Then, precisely those dogs that had survived on rural farms, being used to rouse the more powerful watch dogs, were the new progenitors of the modern day
