Bergamo Shepherd Dog (Bergamasco)

Grooming a Bergamasco? Well, it’s an experience. Their long, matted coat is less about perfection and more about character. You’ll need to roll up your sleeves and separate the clumps by hand so that nothing suffocates the skin underneath. Baths aren’t a daily festival – just enough to keep the dirt at bay while preserving that naturally wild look.

This dog? Oh man, it doesn’t do couch-potato. Daily adventures are a must – be it long walks, playful runs, or even a mini herding session if you’re game. Skip out on exercise and you might just wake up to a bored mischief-maker on your hands. So, keep the energy flowing and watch your Bergamasco light up like it just discovered a hidden park.

Training these pups is kind of like negotiating with that one stubborn buddy who knows all the rules but sometimes just wants to do its own thing. They understand you – but only when you keep it fun and positive. Rewards, playful cues, and early socialization are your best pals here to avoid that ‘I do what I want’ attitude turning into a full-blown rebellion.

Feeding your Bergamasco is like fueling up for an unpredictable mountain trek. High-octane proteins and omega fatty acids are a must to keep those muscles strong and that iconic coat looking wild, yet healthy. And hey, portion control is key – too many treats and you might end up with a snuggly, couch-loving furball instead of that energetic explorer vibe. Always, always keep the water bowl brimming – hydration is life!
