    How To Find a Dog With a Good Temperament

    Selecting a dog can be both exciting and perplexing. But the one thing we all want to know is how our new dog's personality will reveal itself.

    Finding out why a breed was developed, and the country and climate it initially came from, can help you understand what to expect in terms of behaviour and character.

    Some breeds demand much more attention than others. A breed's true temperament can also take some time to develop: the boxer's playful and extrovert nature means it takes longer to mature than other breeds.

    The puppies of particular breeds could be very hard work in the early weeks but can make amazing adult dogs.

    There are seven types of dogs:
    • Gun dog
    • Toy dog
    • Utility Dog
    • Hound dog
    • Terrier
    • Working dog
    • Pastoral


Bergamasco Temperament Personality

Bergamasco Information

A sheepdog with a strong work ethic, the Bergamasco's most unique characteristic is its coat, which contains "dog hair," "goat hair" and "wool" that combine to form black or gray felt-like mats. The mats grow over the course of the dog's life, reaching the ground at approximately 6 years of age. The coat can actually smell like a sweater when it is wet. But despite its formidable appearance, the Bergamasco is really a trim, athletic sheepdog.

The Bergamasco is an alert, observant and patient dog breed with good self-control and balance. This breed is suited even as a guard and companion dog. The Bergamasco establishes close bond with his owner. Aggressive or overly shy behavior is a fault.
