The Volpino Italiano is recorded in the AKC's Foundation Stock Service, where breeds wait before full recognition. It comes from Italy, Central Italy. Adults weigh 4–6 kg. It stands 25–30 cm tall. It typically lives 12–15 years. It is not considered hypoallergenic.

The Volpino Italiano is an Italian spitz-type breed that is closely related to the Pomeranian. They are a small and lively breed, with an alert and spirited personality. They are very loyal, loving, and affectionate, and make wonderful family pets. Volpinos are active and require plenty of exercise and walks, so they are well suited to active households. They have a thick, white double coat and can be prone to matting and tangling if not groomed properly.
