Okay, picture this: a dog that’s as if it’s been on one heck of a mountain road trip one minute and then chilling like it’s on a lazy Sunday afternoon the next. Born in the brutal Italian Alps and rocking a wild, matted coat that practically screams ‘I’ve been through it all’, the Bergamasco is the kind of loyal adventure buddy who isn’t afraid to look a little rough around the edges. Seriously, it’s like that friend who’s equal parts mysterious guardian and goofy companion.

What To Expect When Caring For a Bergamo Shepherd Dog (Bergamasco)
Taking care of a Bergamasco is kind of like managing an unruly piece of modern art that insists on being messy. Their coat is wildly untamed, so you gotta give it some occasional combing to keep those clumps from becoming a full-blown fur jungle. No need for a daily salon session – just enough pampering to show it some love while letting it be its scruffy self.
These pups are pretty darn robust, but hey, nobody’s perfect. Every now and then, you might bump into joint or eye issues – the usual suspects like hip dysplasia making a cameo. A routine vet checkup, a balanced daily romp, and a dash of extra care go a long way in keeping these rugged adventurers in check.
