trifecta Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Pyrenean mountain or sheepdog? although these are tiny ;and mountain dogs are not (as far as I know there were hundreds around when I was a teenager) new to aust. I'd hardly call the Pyrenean Mountain dog tiny weighing in at about 80kg! I grew up in UK watching Belle & Sebastian on the TV, so I am familiar with this breed, LOL! Certainly does not have ringlets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JENCOL Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 (edited) Sounds to me like you met a Bergamasco, there are some in NSW. There was a litter born from 2 imported babies that I think brought there numbers up to about 9. Other is likely Polish Lowland Sheepdog (PONS), Can also be found in NSW/ACT, S.A and Tas, they have been in the country years ago but gradually disappeared from the show scene, they where reintroduced a couple of years ago. Have a look on the breed pages you may find the dog you met. Jenny Edited April 10, 2010 by JENCOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsD Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 If you look at the link that Gayle gave earlier there is a pic of a Bergamasco & they look like you described - hairy with ringlets! They look like a cross between a Puli & a beardy or OES . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gayle. Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Here is a link to a Bermagasco breeder in Australia. According to the website, they bred the first ever Australian litter so you might very well have met one of the pups. They look exactly like you describe. http://www.mungadelbergamascos.com/index.htm?reloaded=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so sure they said French but I was being snuffled by a very large American at the time so must have got mixed up with Italian. I wonder if I should suggest herding training to the family, after she's done some basic obedience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
