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 Barbet
