Bracco Italiano Personality

    Wishing to bring a pet dog into your home? Some canine breeds are easier to own than others, specifically for amateur dog parents.

    To identify the easiest dog breeds to own, we looked at a range of important attributes. And you might be shocked by the traits that matter most. You might think you want a smart dog. Highly intelligent dogs aren't always the easiest to train, because trainability is more about a dog's willingness to comply with directions than his ability to understand them.

    You might believe an active dog will be the easiest to keep healthy. But a canine with a lower energy level and no genetic predisposition to disease will actually be easier to handle. Additionally, choosing a dog with an easygoing temperament - and minimal grooming needs - will go a long way toward keeping you sane.

    Top 5 Easiest Dog's To Own

    1. Beagle - The beagle is one of the top 10 most popular breeds for good reason: He has a bigger-than-life character and a merry nature that make him a joyful and warm companion.

    2. Border Terrier - The border terrier is very "happy," "plucky," and "caring." This dog has a moderate energy level but a more laid-back personality than many other terriers.

    3. Bulldog - If you want a patient and mellow dog, you can't go wrong with the bulldog. You can efficiently train your bulldog - particularly if you use lots of praise and rewards and maintain a sense of humor.

    4. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - They can be loyal hiking partners or shameless couch potatoes, relying on the owner's character - as long as they get an enjoyable walk each day.

    5. Basset Hound - These medium-sized dogs aren't very active. And while most dog owners won't put the basset hound's hunting prowess to the test, they'll treasure the breed's extreme patience with children.

Bracco Italiano Information

The Bracco - or Italian Pointer- should be athletic and powerful in appearance, most resembling a cross between a German Shorthaired Pointer and a Bloodhound, although it is nothing like them in character. It has pendulous upper lips and long ears that create a serious expression. It should be "almost square", meaning that its height at the withers should be almost the same as the length of its body. It should not however be actually square as this would render its famous rear driving push off and front/rear extension to be compromised, thus losing much of its powerful grace. The tail can be docked, mostly due to the strong possibility of injury in rough/dense terrain when hunting, however there has been a sea-change in Italy, with some now working the breed with full tail.

Braccos are very much a people-loving dog and thrive on human companionship, having a strong need to be close to their people. They are a particularly good family dog, and many have a strong love of children. They get along well with other dogs and pets, if trained to do so - it is, afterall, a hunting breed - and must be taught what to chase and what not to. They are very willing to please as long as they have decided that your idea is better than theirs. Obedience training is a must for a Bracco, and the more is asked of them, the better they do. Harsh reprimands do not work with this breed unless the reprimand is a fair one - and harshness must occasionally be used with some dogs to remind them who is actually in charge. Although not an aggressive breed, many Braccos will alert if there is a reason, and some will bark or growl if there's a good reason. The breed loves to hunt, and they excel at it - in fact, a non-hunting Bracco is not a happy Bracco, and will act out in various other ways. Hunting without a gun (as in NAVHDA - this group does not even allow a handler to carry a gun during trials) is an area in which the Bracco can excel and this can be a great opportunity for training the dog to connect with the owner. They are an active breed, but require more mental exercise than physical exercise to keep them happy. A Bracco owner can teach games like hide-and-seek (an object or person) which fits into the breed's original and current usage, and keeps them mentally active.
