Book Description

Comprehensive Owner's Guide September 1, 2003
A rare Italian import, the Bracco Italiano is the most ancient of that nation’s hunting dogs, a successful pointing dog, an intelligent working dog and an affectionate and handsome companion. Few Continental gundogs rival the Bracco Italiano for all-around performance, and fanciers around the world, in Europe and the United States, are just finding out about Italy’s best kept secret.

This Special Rare-Breed Edition dedicated to the Bracco Italiano is the only book of its kind on this little-known breed and a much-needed resource for everyone interested in this talented working dog and companion. Illustrated with over 135 color photographs, this one-of-a-kind limited edition provides everything the potential owner needs to know about the Bracco, including insightful chapters on breed history, characteristics of the breed, as well as puppy selection, house-training, obedience training, health care and showing. Combining the efforts and experience of breed specialists, veterinarians and trainers, this book proves to be as useful and accurate as it is attractive and comprehensive.

This review is from: Bracco Italiano: Special Rare-Breed Edition : A Comprehensive Owner's Guide (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book for those considering a Bracco as a pet. It provides a lot of good information about the breed, its history, and general health, training, and care. As I get more and more questions concerning bracco health (I am with the North American Bracco Italiano Club - www.braccoitaliano.org), I would have liked to see a little more health related information that is specific to the Bracco Italiano breed, but that is the only thing that kept me from giving this book a 5 star rating. The author did a very good job in researching the breed and providing a lot of good information. It is a very good reference and I definitely give it two thumbs up!
