Bracco Italiano
This dog is an ancient breed; it has appeared in paintings and writings from the 4th and 5th centuries B.C. Its ancestors are believed to be a cross between a mastiff type dog and an Egyptian hound. In the 1700’s, Italian hunters developed this dog for tracking and pointing game. Before guns were used for hunting, these dogs were used to drive game into the hunters’ nets.
