He was known in the past as the Working Col do not represent more than 20 per cent of the area of the coat.

CARE REQUIRED
During its first year merely comb the Bergamsco. Thereafter, the coat will start to felt-up and to prevent this you will need to pluck bunches of about 3cm (11/2in) diameter out by hand.

Bergamsco is not a difficult breed to bring up and to train. Socialize them well when they are young and remain consistent and clear in your dealings with them.

SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR
Provided they have been correctly socialized, they get on well with other pets.

This breed is generally fine with children; in­deed it has a tendency to protect them against being pestered by other children. They make first-class guard-dogs and an extremely un­pleasant surprise Border Collie ie originated in the border country betwee for anyone who should break into your house. They are rather reserved with those whom they do not know.

EXERCISE
They require plenty of exercise. This is best done with regular walks. Within a large enough, well-fenced area the Bergamsco will happily take care of its own exercise. They are still used daily to herd livestock, making them true working dogs which do not belong in a small flat.
