Bergamasco Shepherd Dogs are Sheepdogs and Cattle Dogs. They were selected in ancient times as shepherd dog in order to protect, guard, and lead flocks and herds. Their name originated from the Province of Bergamo, and spread in the Alps, where sheep-herding was highly developed. Ancient Tibetan shepherds are thought to have been the remote ancestors of this breed.
