Just had to share this.... So Funny, Love it... :-) The Alternative Bracco Breed Standard by Dr Ros Roden GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The Bracco Italiano is a hunting dog of Ancient Italian Origin. He came over to the UK in 1988 on a Thomson Square Deal holiday - and decided to stay! Hes characterised by his ability to melt your heart with a gaze whilst simultaneously removing anything edible from your pocket. In general hes more suited to a working environment - but hes also quite partial to the sofa! HEAD: Noble, dignified expression. Certainly far too good for anything thats going on around him! Head planes must diverge, although nobody seems to know quite where! EARS: Should be long enough to dangle in his dinner and water! MOUTH: Large enough to carry game and a sandwich at the same time! NOSE: Must be prominent with large nostrils - to enable him to drink and blow water all over the kitchen floor simultaneously! BODY: Well built and muscular - to enable him to get through any door which is mistakenly (of course!) closed against him! HINDQUARTERS: Females: Should be slightly saucy. Tuck up should be frowned upon as opposed to Tuck in which Bracchi are exceptionally good at! FEET: Very large; certainly large enough to attract your attention when placed on your foot! TAIL: Medium length, but long enough to swipe any low lying expensive ornaments off occasional furniture! COAT COLOUR: Depends on where he/shes been in the last 24 hours! (see Ellie right!) GAIT/MOVEMENT: Long loping extended trot - nearly always in the opposite direction to the one youre going in! Has an amazing ability to change direction suddenly - defying any attempts to get him back on the lead! SIZE: Small enough (in his eyes!) to fit on your lap! - but large enough to deter other dogs without actually getting involved in any unpleasant argy bargy. MALES: Should have two normal testicles fully descended, enjoy watching sports, going to the pub with their (male!) owners and lolling around the house looking really bored!!! FEMALES: Should have a cheeky expression and expensive Italian tastes. FAULTS: Any departure from the foregoing should not be considered a fault, its entirely understandable and will certainly not stop you loving your Bracco!!! Take it from those who know!!!!!!!!!!!
