    Bracco Italiano

    The Bracco Italiano is also often called an Italian Pointer and they are athletic dogs bred in Italy to do just that point and retrieve. They are not so well known here in the UK but are highly prized in many European countries as well as their native Italy for their retrieving skills. Braccos are large heavy dogs yet elegant with it but their size alone means they need to have enough space to move around freely in a home environment.
