very Impressive dog & so interesting to see how the coat developes

it's amazing how the maps form, the photos are fab, you'd never believe the fur at pup stage could end up how it does, it's great

.......... I HATE TWO FACED PEOPLE...ITS SO HARD TO KNOW WHICH FACE TO SLAP FIRST!

These are fantasic doggies!! I love them.

I had a Yorkshire Terrier cross in work the other day thinking it was a Bergamasco, it was 18 months old and didnt like to be combed, it was like wearing a sheeps coat, it took me over 45minutes to get all the matts out, and that was shaving it! Poor thing stunk of pee as he had a huge matt around his willy end.

You're welcome - thank you for your interest! I could - and do wax lyrical about them for hours! I've c&p the height and size from the breed standard below:

Size
Height: dogs: 58-62 cms (23-24½ ins); bitches: 54-58 cms (21-23 ins).
Weight: dogs: 32-38 kgs (70-84 lbs); bitches: 26-32 kgs (56-70 lbs).

I've also done a piece about them in the Pet Encyclopedia on this forum if you want to have a look - it goes into the breed history and coat care in a bit more detail.

Really glad you posted this, i had never seen this breed before i saw yours there amazing

Thanks for posting i found this very interesting i did not know all that about the coat..

Spellweaver you answered my questions and I'm going to go read the pet ency now. What interesting and beautiful dogs...Jill

Absolutely beautiful dogs.

... but hands up I wouldn't know how to look after their coat. Grooming long coated dogs is about my limit.
