The mission of the BICA is to maintain the integrity of the Bracco breed standards as a “dual dog”, to promote ethical breeding practices, and keep the health standards as a priority.

The goals and objectives of the Bracco Italiano Club of America are as follows:

• ​To promote cooperation among the breeders and owners of the Bracco Italiano and to encourage the highest standards in breeding.
   
• ​To promote the training of the Bracco Italiano in the field, thus maintaining its integrity as a hunting dog. To that end, to encourage participation in breed-relevant field trials and hunting by its members.
   
• ​To promote excellent conformation in the breed by encouraging conformation showing by its members.
   
• ​Thus the club will strive to keep the Bracco Italiano forever a "dual dog;" by preventing the breed from becoming split into groups of "field dogs" and "bench dogs".
   
• ​To protect and maintain the good health of the breed, by appropriate health testing and by strict adherence to club -related rules for breeding.
