The coat is matted on the body, less so on the head

The Bergamasco is a robust and rustic dog of medium size, solidly built and well proportioned. It is roughly square in outline when seen from the side – the length of the body is approximately equal to the height at the withers.Шаблон:R Dogs stand some Шаблон:Val at the withers, and weigh about Шаблон:Val; bitches are about Шаблон:Val smaller, and weigh on average Шаблон:Val less.Шаблон:R

It is characterised by a long thick coat which covers every part of the dog. Particularly on the hind part of the body, the coat forms long matted locks which provide good protection from bad weather; on the fore part of the body the hair is coarse and forms wavy ringlets like those of a goat, while the hair on the head is rather finer.Шаблон:R The coat may be of any shade of grey, from very pale to matt black; some tinges of isabella or fulvous colour are allowable.Шаблон:R
