Summary
About Bergamasco
Ancient Italian herding breed, medium‑large and sturdy, known for its long, felted gray coat that forms natural flocks. Calm, observant, and deeply bonded to family, it doubles as a gentle guardian. Needs steady exercise, thoughtful training, early coat care, and is generally healthy and long‑lived.
About Miniature Poodle
Miniature Poodles are small, athletic, low‑shedding dogs with dense curly coats and a square, balanced build. Highly intelligent, sensitive, and people‑oriented, they thrive on training, daily exercise, and close companionship, and typically enjoy long, active lives with good care.
