14. Bergamasco Sheepdog
Meeting a Bergamasco Shepherd is a rare treat! This ancient breed, with roots tracing back to the Phoenicians, nearly vanished during World War II.
Known for their distinctive dreadlocked coats, Bergamascos have fur that combines three unique textures. These layers provided warmth in the Italian Alps but can be less practical in warmer climates. Despite their rugged appearance, they are loyal and hardworking dogs. If you’re drawn to a breed with history and character, the Bergamasco Shepherd is a fascinating choice!
