Bergamasco Sheepdog

The Bergamasco Sheepdog is a distinctive herding breed originating from the Italian Alps. Known for its unique, flocked coat, this breed has been used for centuries to guard and herd sheep in harsh mountain climates. Their coat, composed of three types of hair, forms tight, flat mats that offer protection against the elements and predators. Bergamascos are intelligent, loyal, and affectionate dogs that can do well in various environments with proper care and training. They require early socialization and consistent training to channel their natural herding instincts, making them suitable for experienced owners who can provide a nurturing environment.
