Summary
About Bracco Italiano
The Bracco Italiano is an ancient Italian pointing gundog with a noble, sculpted head and short, low‑maintenance coat. Calm, sensitive and affectionate at home yet energetic outdoors, it needs kind training, plenty of daily exercise, ear/skin care, and close family contact.
About Auvergne Pointer (Braque d'Auvergne)
Medium French pointing dog with black‑and‑white “ink splash” coat, calm yet athletic. Sensitive, affectionate and people‑oriented, it bonds closely with its family. A versatile hunter needing 1.5–2 hours of daily activity, it is rare outside France but valued for its rustic, working character.
