The AKC calls the Bracco gentle in the home and tireless in the field, one of the oldest pointing breeds, brought to the United States in the 1990s.
The weight spread
From 55 to 90 pounds, one breed covers two bath rows and two kennel choices. A Bracco under 75 pounds is in the 51 to 75 row at $45 Short; one of 76 to 90 is in the next at $50. Business Class suits most; a big male who likes to sprawl can choose First Class, about 48 square feet inside plus 72 outside.
Short, smooth coat
The AKC lists a short, smooth coat with occasional shedding. A bath before pick-up is optional; please ask to confirm the price.
Tireless outside, gentle inside
The AKC describes two moods, tireless in the field and gentle in the home. The large fenced play areas and the grass field serve the first, the Kuranda bed the second. Walks are included. The AKC rates barking as when necessary, so the run area tends to be quiet.
Heat
A short coat is not a heavy one, but a 90 pound dog still overheats. NOAA's Vacaville station records about 100 days a year at 90 degrees or more. The runs are air-conditioned in summer and heated in winter, and the doggie door lets your dog choose.
Cost and records
Seven nights in Business Class is 7 x $59 on the 2026 rates; a First Class stay of 7 nights is 7 x $72. Rabies, distemper/parvo and Bordetella must be current. Canine influenza is recommended but not required. Medications are given at no extra charge.
Check-in day
Leave your Bracco in the car at check-in while staff carry your bag and walk your dog in. Remove any prong or choke collar, and bring one toy that is not the favorite. House food is free, or bring your own in its original bag with the amount in cups. A tour is free every day from 9 to 11 AM and 2 to 4 PM, with no appointment, and a staff member walks with you. Online booking is a request, and the kennel confirms every reservation, so a heavier male can ask about First Class when you book.
