Bergamasco Sheepdog

Bergamascos come with three pounds of dreadlock-like coat that sheds approximately never, which sounds great until you realize bathing one takes an entire weekend and a questionable amount of patience. They’re genuinely independent thinkers bred to make decisions about sheep without a shepherd around, so they won’t hang on your every word, but they’re also not the aloof, standoffish type some people expect. If you want a dog that’s equal parts low-shedding miracle and stubborn problem-solver with a coat that looks like it survived a natural disaster, this is your breed.
