Do I need a licence to advertise puppies?
In England you need a dog breeding licence from your council if you breed three or more litters in 12 months or breed and sell dogs as a business, and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own schemes. Licensed breeders show their licence number and issuing council on every advert. Puppies must be at least eight weeks old before they go to new homes.
Is my listing already here?
We add licensed breeders from councils' public registers. Search for your kennel name; if it is listed you can claim it and edit everything.
Buying a Bracco Italiano puppy
Use this page to find UK breeders on caninebreeder.co.uk with Bracco Italiano puppies for sale or litters on the way. Listings carry the information each breeder supplies, so treat them as a first step and check the facts yourself. Look up both parents' hip and elbow results on the RKC Health Test Results Finder and ask to see their eye certificates. Breeders of this breed often keep waiting lists, so it pays to get in touch well ahead. Think carefully before you apply: this is a large hunting dog that will need more than two hours of exercise daily as an adult and may not be reliable in training until about three years old. Visit the litter, meet the mother and wait until the puppy is at least eight weeks old. The Bracco Italiano Club UK has guidance for puppy buyers, and our buyer safety guide explains how to avoid scams.
Health tests to ask about
The Royal Kennel Club's Bracco Italiano page lists prioritising genetic diversity as good practice, and hip and elbow screening under the BVA/KC schemes as best practice. There is no breed-specific DNA test package. The breed is in Breed Watch Category 1, meaning no breed-specific points of concern have been flagged for judges. The RKC gives a lifespan of under ten years.
The Bracco Italiano Club UK health pages cover several conditions. Hereditary kidney disease, including amyloidosis, is most often diagnosed at around five years of age, although the club reports cases in dogs just over a year old. It also describes entropion, ectropion and cherry eye; hip and elbow dysplasia; skin, ear and hot spot problems, for which it suggests thyroid screening before breeding; and a bowing of the front legs in some puppies that it does not believe is inherited. The club records sensitivity to certain sedatives, so tell your vet the breed before any procedure. Its code of ethics requires hip and elbow scores before mating and current eye certificates. Results for RKC-registered dogs appear on the Health Test Results Finder.
