15. Bracco Italiano
The Bracco Italiano, among the oldest pointer breeds, dates to the 4th century B.C. Popular in the Middle Ages, they nearly disappeared in the 1800s but have seen a revival. Calm, reliable, and resilient, they’re outstanding hunting dogs. Their robust, athletic frame pairs with a gentle, wise expression. Standing 21 to 27 inches tall and weighing 55 to 88 pounds, their white coats feature orange or chestnut markings. Skilled hunters yet tender with family, they need regular exercise and mental stimulation to thrive.
