Summary
About Bullmastiff
Large, powerful guardian originally bred to catch poachers, the Bullmastiff is calm, confident and deeply loyal, often bonding closely with one person. It has a short, low‑maintenance coat, needs space, consistent early training and socialisation to guide its natural protectiveness.
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.
