To  Your  Good  Health!

  A very intelligent and brave breed, the Bergamasco is, overall, a very peaceful dog enjoying good health for quite a respectable lifespan.The unique hair and often unabashed spirit for life, makes the Bergamasco a remarkable companion.Knowing your dog's diet and exercise level are vital . Just like people, not all Bergamasco( or dogs for that matter) like the same things....especially every day.The breeder of your dog should be a good source of information for any questions concerning health, feeding and the great fun when eventually the day arrives and "the coat's come in"! Trust me, it always was there but one day you'll see for yourself how your Bergamasco has quietly surprised you once again. And yes, they do smile, and they do grin! The breeder of your dog should be a lifelong resource and as often happens, Bergamasco, family and breeder keep in touch either by phone or email, checking on the latest or just being impressed at another learning level achieved. It is also a very good idea to visit a few animal health care facilities until you find one that you feel comfortable with and wouldn't mind going for a visit. You can also consider learning more about alternative therapies and care such as homeopathy,chiropractic and some fascinating additions( or alternatives) to what your dog eats! A favourite story involved a puppy with a wonderful appetite, tried all veggies and all the neat protein his parents gave him...but turned up his nose at ostrich. No matter, his human dad thought it made a nice change for the dinner menu.

On this website, there will be resources that you are free to browse, and links to other sites. The initial source for your dog's well being is you, the breeder and the medical care that is secured for the newest family member. Eventually, there will be a spot for idea exchanges. Right now, after a huge romp in very cold weather, sleeping dogs are sleeping.
