About

O que diz o padrão da raça

Criado para
Shepherd dog used to drive and guard herds
Comportamento e 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.

Pros & cons

Prós e contras da raça Bergamasco Shepherd Dog

O que ganha com a raça Bergamasco Shepherd Dog

  • Função declarada no padrão: «Shepherd dog used to drive and guard herds»
  • O padrão descreve a raça assim: «The function of the Bergamasco shepherd dog is to drive and guard herds and livestock in general, a task for which the…»

O que tem de assumir

  • Exige muitos cuidados com o pelo — a descrição do próprio padrão é «The hair on the ears is slightly wavy and soft forming pointed fringes at the tip.»

Retirado de fontes e não escrito como opinião — investigação de saúde citada, o padrão do próprio registo, e estudos de longevidade revistos por pares. Padrão da raça, FCI. Os animais de um criador podem diferir de tudo isto, e uma coluna vazia significa que não temos nada desse lado, não que não haja nada a dizer.

Characteristics

Padrão da FCI · Bergamasco Shepherd Dog

Pelo e cor

Tal como o padrão da FCI o estabelece. Cada linha abaixo está nas palavras do próprio padrão, etiquetada com 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

Cor

  • Preferred
  • Permissible
  • Undesirable
  • Disqualifying

«Preferred», «permissible», «undesirable» e «disqualifying» — preferida, admissível, indesejável e desqualificante — são as palavras da própria FCI sobre a raça, e ficam em inglês porque é assim que constam do padrão. Descrevem o que o padrão exige — não são uma avaliação de nenhum cão em concreto, nem nossa.

  • Solid grey or with grey patches of all possible shades from the softest of grey to a lighter shade of grey on to black.
  • Permissible: Tinges of isabella and light fawn
  • Permissible: An all-black coat providing the black is really opaque

O que o padrão penaliza

Aquilo que faz um juiz descontar pontos à raça Bergamasco Shepherd Dog, e o que a põe fora do ring, nas palavras do próprio registo. Isto descreve o padrão da raça — não é uma lista de verificação para o animal que tem à frente, e um animal de companhia com um defeito desqualificante é um cão que não pode ir a exposição, não um cão doente.

Defeitos graves

Contam fortemente contra um exemplar no 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.

Puppies

No puppies listed right now

No Bergamasco Shepherd Dog breeder has a record on this platform yet, so there is nothing to list. That is a gap in our coverage, not a fact about the breed.
