Bracco Italiano
The Bracco Italiano[a] is an Italian breed of pointing dog.
History[edit]
The first dog registered by the Kennel Club Italiano, founded in 1882, was a Bracco Italiano.[2] Early in 1949 a breed standard was approved by the Ente Nazionale della Cinofilia Italiana, and later the same year a breed society, the Società Amatori Bracco Italiano, was formed.[3][4] The breed was fully accepted by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale in 1956.[5]
In the 41 years from 1970 to 2011, a total of 24,613 of the dogs were registered.[3] From 2010 to 2018 there were approximately 700 new registrations per year in Italy, of which in every year the majority were of white-and-orange colouration.[6]
