Tully is a 3-year-old Bracco Italiano female looking for the right hunting and/or companion home. She is a sweet, affectionate dog with a wonderful temperament and has been raised as part of our family at Claddagh Kennel.
In the Field
Tully is a started bird dog with experience hunting the past 3 seasons on wild birds, including multiple upland species in Montana and Idaho. She has a solid foundation in the field and is ready for someone who wants to continue developing her into their own hunting partner.
At three years old, she is past the puppy stage but still has many hunting seasons ahead of her.
At Home
Tully is sweet, affectionate, and social. She has been raised around other dogs and children and would be a great fit for someone who wants their hunting dog to also be part of the family.
Health & Breeding
Tully has no known health issues and comes through thoughtfully selected Bracco Italiano bloodlines. Both of her parents are show champions, field titled, and CHIC health tested, combining proven structure, working ability, and health testing behind her pedigree.
Tully is being placed as a non-breeding dog and is not available for a breeding program.
The right Home
Finding the right match for Tully is our priority. We would love to see her go to an active home where she will be hunted, continue her training, and enjoy life as a family companion.

At Claddagh Kennel, our goal is to produce German Wirehaired Pointers and Bracchi Italiani that are truly versatile hunting companions – dogs with strong natural instinct, stable temperament, and the ability to excel in the field while living as valued members of the family.
We do not add dogs to our breeding program until they’ve proven themselves as outstanding hunting dogs, meet the breed standard, complete all required health testing, and demonstrate ability in advanced sanctioned hunt/field and NAVHDA testing.
We believe testing programs through NAVHDA and AKC are excellent tools for evaluating natural ability, trainability, and overall working potential.
Because our puppies go to homes across the country, we require all puppy buyers to run a NAVHDA Natural Ability tests (ages 6 – 16 months). This helps us better understand what each breeding produces and guides our long-term program decisions.
Puppies are not always available, and we place dogs based on fit, not first-come, first-served. We breed infrequently, and some families remain on our list for 2-3 years, because a puppy been available does not automatically mean it’s the right match for every home.
In addition to puppies, we occasionally have:
If you’re open to a started or finished dog, please mention that in your questionnaire – availability can change your timeline significantly.
If you’re serious about a Claddagh dog, we strongly recommend visiting to watch our dogs work in the field. We want you to see their hunting style, temperament, and overall structure firsthand – and to handle them, including coat texture and condition. We’re proud of what we produce and want you to feel confident about your decision.
