OT: Bergamasco Sheepdog

[93legendti]

Anyone have a Bergamasco? We're inline to receive one as a present for our daughter. I am wondering if there is anything special we should know or do- we've done lots of research and visited with a family that had one. Just curious...

Are those the dogs whose coat looks like a mass of dreadlocks?

[93legendti]

That's the dog. There are 2-3 dogs that look like these I believe the Bergamasco is the largest/has the best temperament. Plus, hypoallergenic...

Nice. I have no experience with the breed but know that they are rare in this country which should indicate that they haven't been overbred and should be pretty healthy. Do they like reggae music and ganja?

Fair questions. If they do, this is the wrong house.

Give them a smoking room ! Let the dogs have a bit of fun.
