On the 2nd and 3rd of April BCUK attended the Dog Lovers Show in Mac’s hometown of Glasgow. The dogs as always were the star attraction and the public loved them all, special thanks to the following for making it all happen:
Paul and Jo with Alfie, Fiona and Gemma
Bill and Claire with Paolo and William (honorary Bergamasco)
Gareth, Jane, Olivia and Callan with Mac
Here are some pictures from the event:

BCUK were in attendance at Discover Dogs as part of the Crufts event Thursday to Sunday and thanks to the dedication of the clubs members, we managed to keep it manned from 9am-4pm (5pm on the Saturday due to volume of visitors) every single day. A phenomenal effort from all of the following:
Alia & Lee with Toby
Pia & Jiorgen with Rubin
Jane & Gareth with Mac
Yvonne & Simon with Gertie
Jenny & Matt with Verty
Rachel & Dave with Lizzie and Lucca
Jo & Paul with Alfie, Storm, Fiona and Gemma
With easily one of the busiest stands all our dogs performed impeccably and really put on a show for the adoring public.
One of our members took some video of Discover Dogs and also our dogs in the show ring and has created the following video for you to enjoy. It’s fantastic and shows what a great time we all had!
Following on from the success of Discover Dogs at Crufts the Bergamascos are coming to Scotland (Glasgow) on the 2nd/3rd April. Full details in the image below.

Owning a puppy, especially as a first time owner can be a daunting experience. We’ve just published a puppy FAQ on our website, to help new puppy owners understand some of the challenges of living with a bergamaso in the early days.
