The Bracco Italiano is a versatile and energetic dog breed originating from Italy. Known for their unique hound-like appearance with long, droopy ears and jowls, they are highly skilled in various aspects of hunting, including scenting, tracking, and retrieving birds. They are also excellent family pets due to their affectionate, intelligent, and loyal nature. With proper socialization, they generally get along well with other dogs and pets, and they form strong bonds with their owners. They require consistent exercise and mental stimulation to prevent destructive behaviors and are most suited to active households with spacious outdoor areas. Training should be based on positive reinforcement methods, as they respond poorly to harsh discipline.
