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 Toy Poodle
Toy Poodles are the smallest Poodles, square and elegant with dense, curly, low‑shedding coats needing regular grooming. Lively, sensitive and highly trainable, they form close bonds, suit active indoor lifestyles, and, with good care, often live 14–16 years or more.
