The Bracco Italiano is an Italian versatile gun dog. It is not common in its native country and is virtually unknown elsewhere. The Bracco or also known as an Italian Pointer- should be athletic and powerful in appearance, most resembling a cross between a German Shorthaired Pointer and a Bloodhound, although it is nothing like them in character.
It has pendulous upper lips and long ears that create a serious expression. It should be “almost square”, meaning that its height at the withers should be almost the same as the length of its body. The most common colours are Bianco-Arancio – White-Orange and Roano-Marrone – Roano-Brown, chestnut, or amber coloured patches on the face, ears, base of tail, and body.
The colors of the Bracco’s coat are usually three-colors, as an orange/white with chestnut spottings above the eyes, on the muzzle and legs, such as the pattern of a Doberman or Rottweiler. weight is 25–40 kg. Braccos are very much a people-loving dog and thrive on human companionship, having a strong need to be close to their people. They are a particularly good family dog, and many have a strong love of children.
