NBSA Fun Day & UKC Bergamasco National Specialty

NBSA Fun Day is our annual gathering for Bergamasco people, families, and dogs. Each year, the National Bergamasco Sheepdog Alliance hosts a picnic along with the UKC Bergamasco National Specialty, giving members and newcomers a chance to meet the breed, spend time together, enjoy the dogs, and celebrate the Bergamasco community. Below are photos, results, and memories from past NBSA Fun Day and Specialty events.

See the flyer for our 2026 event on our Upcoming Events page!
