Bergamascos marched in the Port Lorne, NS Canada Day Parade
The first Bergamasco litter born in Nova Scotia celebrated its 10-year anniversary at the Port Lorne Canada Day Parade along the Fundy shore. The names of each of the ten puppies were written on maple leaves and carried along the parade route on the very road where they were born.
Two dogs from that litter were present for the celebration: Ayla and Anthea.
July 20, 2024 marked a historic day for the Bergamasco in Canada, as the breed made its debut in CKC competition at the Miramichi Kennel Club in Cross Creek, New Brunswick.
On that day, Imperia of Windy Hill (“Kittie”), bred by Susan Pickerill and owned by Susan Pickerill and Yvonne Bunevich, became the first Bergamasco in Canada to win Best of Breed in CKC competition. She went on to earn a Group 4 placement in the Herding Group under judge Will Alexander.
On the second day, Alp Angel’s Martensa earned Best of Breed and a Group 3 placement under judge Corinne Walker. Martensa was bred and owned by Jeanine Dell’Orfano and Joe Dell’Orfano.
It was a memorable weekend for the Bergamasco in Canada.
