| Notes |

The Bergamasco is a
breed of
dog with its origins
in the Italian
Alps, where it was originally used as a
herding
dog.
Appearance
The breed's most distinctive feature is the unusual matted coat which is a
normal and healthy characteristic of the breed. Bergamascos are born with short,
smooth fur, which slowly develops the characteristic mats as the dog grows. In
adulthood the mats may reach as low as the dog's paws.
