Pastori de Bergamasco In North America
 Silver Pastori introduced the dell Albera Bergamasco Sheepdog Lineage to North America in 1995.
Silver Pastori as we call ourselves, was formed by Donna & Stephen as a beginning work,
always in progress, continuing with Dr. Maria Andreoli's life's love, The Pastori de Bergamasco.
We were excited to have the opportunity to introduce the Bergamasco Sheepdog to North America. Donna & I were hoping that we could find a family of Bergamascoites, like
ourselves that would find The Bergamasco Sheepdog irresistible, and work together to help preserve the many amazing attributes that we have come to know.
In 1998, Fauno & Gae dell Albera had North America's first registered litter of Bergamasco Sheepdogs.
Silver Pastori's philosophy, throughout the years as the primary Bergamasco's caregiver has not changed. Today's common placed whims of fancy within the "Canine World" has not been part of our keeping. We have not changed the breed to our specific style or other dog fanciers ideals and hope that others will not as well.
The Bergamasco Sheepdog was and is a herding, flock guardian with a penchant for an ongoing mutual relationship. The Bergamasco today maintains it's original flock tending instincts ready to be put to use! Of course the show coat of today, needs to be trimmed to allow longevity of stride.
Dr. Maria Andreoli granted Donna & Stephen DeFalcis the ability to continue the Dell Albera Bergamasco. In honor, Donna & Stephen DeFalcis continue with the dell Albera lineage signifying a North American born Bergamasco with the name dell Albera Sp.
Dr. Marie Andreoli's love of the breed, lives within ourselves, in our hearts, and is our everyday way of life.
Philosophy Of Time:
It is not what can your dog do for you
But what can you do for your dog! |
