The book "Darum Bracken!" is a plea for this old hunting dog breed. It introduces the importance of the imprinting phase of the puppy and the subsequent professional training of the young dogs to become successful hunting utility dogs. To familiarize with different game and hunting types the author gives many tips and assistance from practice. The numerous hunting experiences with Brandlbracken and Styrian Rauhaarbracken, which make up a large part of the book, describe almost incidentally how these "primeval hunting dogs" surprise again and again and with their independent nature also lead hopelessly believed searches and hunts to a successful end. Tracking will, great tracking reliability, endurance, the expressive "Brackengeläut" and a well-dosed game sharpness - these are only some of the special characteristics of this special dog breed. Bracken are.
