Before choosing

Full description

The Bracco Italiano is a distinctive Italian pointing breed with a gentle, cooperative nature and an elegant yet powerful build. It is often calm indoors when given sufficient exercise, but needs long walks, scent work and regular opportunities to explore safely. Sensitive and people-oriented, it responds best to patient, positive training. Its loose skin and long ears require routine checks, while its deep chest calls for sensible meal and exercise management.
