Bergamasco Sheepdog Breeders

Also know as the Bergamese Shepherd.  In looks and temperament, these hardy and adaptable dogs are remarkably similar to the Briard.  However, while the Briard is popular in France and abroad, the Bergamasco is relatively unknown outside their native region of  Bergamo in Italy and at times they have been close to extinction.  An exceptionally efficient worker, their distinctive corded coat evolved to protect these dogs from the weather and the flailing hooves of livestock.  They are affectionate, courageous and loyal and make superb companion and guard dogs.  They are not suited for city life.  They weigh 57 to 84 lbs. and stand 22-24" at the shoulders.  Contact the dog breeders below for your next family friend.
