Bergamasco Shepherd

The Bergamasco Shepherd is a shaggy Italian sheepdog bred to herd livestock in the Alpine foothills. Its most striking feature is a dense, matted coat that forms natural felt-like layers, protecting it from harsh mountain weather.

• Originated in the Bergamo Alps of northern Italy.
• Traditionally herded both sheep and cattle.
• Its unique coat forms thick, protective cords over time.
