I'm the breeder behind Silver Pastori Bergamascos located in Langhorne, PA. We are passionate about the Bergamasco Sheepdog and breed to help ensure the future of these incredible, historic dogs. It is our goal to produce healthy puppies and do our part to preserve this breed. With this in mind, we consider a variety of factors when making breeding decisions, and we only breed dogs that are exemplary representations of the standard. We provide each of our dogs and puppies with the best care, and we ensure each pup that we don’t keep goes to a responsible, loving home.

“Every family must pick up their puppy, betwn 10-12 weeks of age. It is important that the family meet the mom and older dogs , for many it's the first time, meeting a bergamasco and experiencing the adult coat is extremely important. The puppy stage is short term, the adult bergamasco will be with you for many years.”
