Bracco Italiano


Overview

The Bracco Italiano is a hardy, affectionate dog that is beloved by families for its loyalty and natural affinity with children. Braccos are active, enjoying both physical and mental challenges. Braccos are hunting dogs, so they have an independent streak, and need to be trained well if they are expected to get along with other animals. Their versatility allows them to fit in well in many different contexts, so whatever your needs, the Bracco Italiano may be the perfect companion for you!
