  Bracco Italiano  

      

 

   History  

This dog is old Italian of origin.  It was used for the bird hunt and in the course of the centuries formed and develops further;  from the once common hunt with catch net it adapted to the hunt way with pistols. Books from the 14.  Year one hundred proves unquestionably its continuing by the centuries through, both which its morphology and his hunting plants as hunting dog concerns.  Group of 7 hunting dogs section of 1,1 continental hunting dogs,type: Braque


 

 

General appearance: It is of durable and harmonious figure and a strong feature.  To prefer are dogs with dry members, stepping out muscles and clear lines, with well modelled head and with clear Ziselierung underneath the eyes, all typical characteristics, which particularly mark this race. Important proportions:  The fuselage length corresponds the height or exceeds it easily.  The head width amounts to, with the yoke leg elbow measured, less than the half head length.  Catch and heads are equivalent long.

 

Behavior a character (nature *  Resistantly and for all hunt purposes suitably;  reliably, adding SAM, with more rapidly view and large adaptability.  Head:  Sharp-edged and within the range the yoke leg elbow narrowly;  its length corresponds to 4/10 the height  the overall length of the head is halved at the connecting line between the two internal eye angles.  The upper border lines of catch and head are divergent, which means that the extension of the upper catch line exactly crosses the head line before the "Hinterhaupthoecker", in the ideal case in their center.


Upper head    In the profile the head saw the form of an elbow opened very far.  Regarded from above it forms a be enough-strained Elipse.  At height of the yoke leg bones those amounts to measured head width at the most the half head length.  The front peaks and the brow elbow are well visible.  The front furrow is visible and ends on half head length.  The vertex border is short and little stepping out, which is "Hinterhaupthoecker" stressed.

 

Stop    Little pronouncedly.  Face head:  The nose sponge is voluminoes, with large and well opened nostrils.  It manages somewhat over the front "Lefzenlinie" and forms with this an angle.  The color is more or less rosa to meat colors or brown, with the hair colors agreeing.

 

Nose  black either easily curved or straight.  Its length corresponds to the half head length and its height amounts to 4/5 of its length.  From the front seen, the catch sides approach forward one on the other easily;  the catch remains in front quite broadly nevertheless.  The chin is a little visible.  

 

Lefzen  The upper lefzen are well developed, thin and down-hanging, but not flabby;  within the front range they cover the lower jaw, laterally overlap them it a little.  From the front seen they form under the nose sponge a turned "V", the lip angle must pronouncedly, but be not hanging.

 

Mouth  teeth  Well suitable tooth elbow straight in the Kiefer standing teeth, shears conclusion of the frontteeths, pliers conclusion is also tolerated.

Cheeks *  Drying.  Eyes:  In halflateral situation, gently and adding SAM in the expression.  They are neither low-lying nor stepping out.  The eyelids are well opened and of oval form.  They are completely because of the eyeball on (neither Entropium nor Ektropium);  the iris is from more or less dark ocher or brown, depending upon color of the hair dress

.

 

Behang   So long that it without pull the front edge of the nose sponge reached.  Its width corresponds at least to its half length;  it is only little put up;  rather in the back, relatively narrowly and at height of the yoke leg line set;  one estimates the supple Behang with clearly inward turned over front edge, which rests completely against the cheek;  the lower Behangende shows an easily rounded off point.  Neck:  Strongly set off from the form of a truncated cone, length at least 2/3 of the head length, well from the neck.  The throat shows an easy Doppelwamme.

 

Body Upper profile line:  The upper line of the trunk is divided into two sections:  first runs in diagonal direction, almost straight from the widerrist to the eleventh back eddy, the second section forms the easily convex connection to the croup.  Widerrist:  Well stepping out, with well apart-standing shoulder sheet crests.

 

Lenden    hip broadly, muscleful briefly and easily curved.  Croup *  Long croup (about 1/3 the Widerristhoehe), broadly and well muscles. The ideal inclination of the basin is with an angle from 30° to horizontals.  Broad basin.  Chest:  Thorax roomy, deeply and reaching up to the elbow, not kielfoermig;  Ribs particularly lying in the lower range well curved and diagonally.  Lower profile line and belly:  The lower profile nearly is in the range of the thorax straight and rises in the abdominalen range easily.

 

Rod  Strongly at the beginning, straight, to taper itself with more easily tendency, briefly hair.  If the dog is in motion, particularly if it searches it almost or is completely horizontal carried.  It becomes on a length of 15 - 25 cm cut.  (in some countries forbade and since 1.  5.  2002 no more on exhibitions certified). Member masses *  Fronthand**Shoulders:  Strongly, well muscled long and diagonally, freely in its motion.Upper arm *  Diagonally and well resting against the thorax.

 

Elbow   Peak must be to vertical on a line, which leads from the rear shoulder blade tip to the soil. Lower arm*  Strongly, perpendicularly, with strong, well set off chords. Front central foot:  Well, drying proportioniert, from appropriate length and easily diagonally standing.  Front paws:  Firmly, oval, with well curved and closely closed-up toes, with strong, well claws curved to the soil.  Their color is white, more or less intensively ochers or brown depending upon color of the hair dress;  Bundle flexibly and drying.  Rear spar and:  Thigh:  Long, diverging from above downward not, rear edge nearly straight muscled.


Shank   Strongly. Jump joint*  Broadly.

Hintermittelfuss *  Relatively briefly and drying. rearfoot,  They have the same characteristics as the front and to carry after claws;  their absence does not represent an error.  A double after claw is tolerated.       

Gangwerk *   Extended one and fast trab with strong thrust from the rear spar and;  high-carried head, so that with the hunt the nose lies more highly than the back line.

 

Skin   Resistantly, but flexibly;  on the head, at the throat, in the shoulder caves and at the fuselage lower side more thinly.  The color of the visible mucous membranes must stand in relation to the skin color, it may however never black marks show.  The internal mucous membranes of the oral cavity are rosa;  with knows - brown speckled dogs are sometimes easily brown or brightly chestnut brown spotted.


Hair dress:     Hair * Briefly, closely and shining, more finely and more briefly on the head, at the Behang, at the fronts of the member masses and on the paws. Color: orange white *  white with differently large, more or less dark or bernsteinfarbenen   marks.  white with more or less large kastanienbraunen marks.  white - pale-orange speckled (melato) white chestnut brown speckled (roano - marrone).  With this colour combination one estimates the metallic reflexes and prefers one a warm, brown hue reminding of the color of the "Moenchskutte".  Preferred a symmetrical mask, one is tolerated in addition, the absence of a mask.

 

Size and weight    Widerristhoehe:  Between 55 and 67 cm size for males preferred:  58 - 67 cm preferred sizes for dogs:  55 - 62 cm  Weight:  Between 25 and 40 kilograms depending upon size. Mistakes:  Each deviation from the points specified above must be regarded as errors, whose evaluation should stand in exact relation to the degree of the deviation. Excluding errors, convergence of the border lines of head and catch.  - gap nose.  - pronounced Vorbiss, back bite. Birkauge. falbfarben hair dress black, black and white, three-colored, hazelnut brown in-colored, with fire.  Pigmentlosigkeit.(Albinismus) Traces of black on the mucous membranes, the skin and the organs of appendix of skin.  Size more than 2 cm over or under the limit values indicated in the standard.  

 

Faults    Any departure from the foregoing points should be considered a fault and the seriousness with which the fault should be regarded should be in exact proportion to its degree.

Note *  Males must exhibit two obviously normally developed testicles, which are completely and fully descended into the scrotum.
