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 Russkiy Toy
Tiny, elegant toy breed (1–3 kg, 20–28 cm) with smooth or long coat. Lively, athletic, and strongly attached to family, often choosing a favorite person. Alert and vocal, suited to gentle, consistent training and moderate exercise, but physically delicate and needs careful handling.
