Summary
About English Setter
Elegant, medium‑large gundog with a silky belton coat and feathered tail. Gentle, devoted and people‑oriented, it suits active families who enjoy long daily walks. Sensitive to harsh handling, it responds best to kind, consistent training and regular grooming.
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.
