Weekly brushing is enough for the short coat, but clean the long ears and loose lips regularly. Expect some drool.
Opleiding
Willing but can be stubborn and sensitive. Use patient, kind, reward-based training.
Gesondheid
Hip and elbow dysplasia, eyelid problems such as entropion and ectropion, ear infections and kidney disease are known in the breed. Ask the breeder for hip, elbow and eye results of the parents.

Oor die ras
The Bracco Italiano is one of the oldest pointing breeds, with dogs of this type shown in Italian Renaissance art and kept by noble families for bird hunting. Two regional types, a lighter Piedmontese and a heavier Lombard dog, were eventually merged into one breed.
It hunts with a distinctive high-headed trot and is gentle, affectionate and somewhat sensitive at home. It is usually good with children and other dogs. Expect drool, a stubborn streak at times and a strong need for daily exercise.
Het jy geweet?
Two regional types once existed, a lighter orange-and-white dog from Piedmont and a heavier brown roan dog from Lombardy.
