About
Lo que dice el estándar de la raza
- Criado para
- Shepherd dog used to drive and guard herds
- Comportamiento y temperamento
“The function of the Bergamasco shepherd dog is to drive and guard herds and livestock in general, a task for which the breed expresses consummate behaviour thanks to the vigilance, concentration and harmonious built. The capacity for learning and the determination combined with moderation and patience make the dog an excellent guard and companion, suited to various functions. Known to establish a close relationship with man. The breed must never be aggressive or fearful, although a slight natural diffidence is mentioned as a somewhat typical characteristic of some sheepdogs”
Quoted from FCI standard n°194. It describes the breed the registry recognises, not any individual animal.

Extraído de fuentes y no escrito como opinión — investigación de salud citada, el estándar del propio registro, y estudios de longevidad revisados por pares. Estándar de la raza, FCI. Los animales de un criador pueden diferir de todo esto, y una columna vacía significa que no tenemos nada de ese lado, no que no haya nada que decir.
Characteristics
Estándar de la FCI · Bergamasco Shepherd Dog
Pelo y color
Tal como lo establece el estándar de la FCI. Cada línea de abajo está en las palabras del propio estándar, etiquetada con permissible.
Coat
Very abundant and very long, varies depending on the region of the body.
Rather harsh (similar to goat hair) with wavy flocks on the front part of the body, while from the middle of the chest region to the rear it is woolly and forms broad strands of varied length depending on the age of the dog
the woolly coat does not moult and traps the undercoat which is quite long and soft forming mats of felted hair which are very protective.
The flocks start from the topline falling down the sides of the body.
The hair on the head is less harsh and falls over the face.
The hair on the ears is slightly wavy and soft forming pointed fringes at the tip.
The hair on the limbs must be evenly distributed all over with soft flocks on the forelegs and matted flock on the hind legs.
The coat is soft in puppies and the flocks begin to form at 12–15 months.
Their length depends on the age hence young dogs must not be penalised for a coat, which has not yet lengthened.
In old dogs, too thick and long a coat that hampers normal movement and compromises the dog’s welfare should be avoided.
The coat should be cared for and kept clean
avoiding in particular matted flocks on the beard, muzzle and ears flaps

- Disqualifying
«Preferred», «permissible», «undesirable» y «disqualifying» — preferido, admisible, indeseable y descalificante — son las palabras de la propia FCI sobre la raza, y quedan en inglés porque así constan en el estándar. Describen lo que el estándar pide — no son una valoración de ningún perro concreto, ni nuestra.
Resumido de FCI standard n°194 — cada etiqueta está en las palabras del propio estándar, con el veredicto pasado a la etiqueta de al lado. Lee la cláusula completa en la fuente.

Lo que el estándar penaliza
Aquello por lo que un juez resta puntos a la raza Bergamasco Shepherd Dog, y lo que la deja fuera del ring, en las palabras del propio registro. Esto describe el estándar de la raza — no es una lista de comprobación para el animal que tienes delante, y un animal de compañía con un defecto descalificante es un perro que no puede ir a exposición, no un perro enfermo.
Defectos graves
Cuentan mucho en contra de un ejemplar en el ring.
- Facio-cranial head planes convergent or divergent. Nose partially depigmented. Eyes with heterochromia of the iris, bilateral or monolateral (part of the iris blue), bulging or sunken, oval and slanting eyes. More than one missing tooth. (Except for PM1 and M3). Tail set too high or low, carried too high over the back or hanging loosely. Coat with no differentiation between woolly and goat-like hair, soft all over, short on the forelegs and on the muzzle, sparse hair on the tail, too thick and long so as to compromise the function of the dog. Colour other than permitted in the standard. Gait that is ambling or pacing continually. Size that is over or under the margins indicated by the standard

Health guide
What to ask for in a Bergamasco Shepherd Dog
No breed-specific health panel has been written up for the Bergamasco Shepherd Dog on this platform yet. That is a gap in our records, not a clean bill of health — ask the breeder which hereditary conditions their lines are tested for, and ask to see the results for both parents, dated and from a named laboratory.
