Since 2009 the Field trial committee of the Bracco Italiano Club organises two field trials which are held annually. In Retranchement in Zeeland. The young dogs get their chance to shine in a junior field trial. In 2010 Two Vicini-braccos took top stage with a first place for Matilde and a second place for Hidalgo di Cacciola. The bracco success was completed by an honourable mention for Flint, the bracco of fellow-organisers Jeroen and Jeannot. On the photo Matilde flushes a pheasant after her point. The runner isn't close enough yet, not a very serious fault at junior field trials. The main objective of the junior competitions is that the young dogs hunt and enjoy finding birds. It is the nursery for the open class.
