Riccio
Ombra
Blasco
Riccio, Ombra & Blasco are herding dogs of landrace type. Not registered breeds, but dogs of this type have been used for centuries as working dogs by the shepherds. They come in various colours & coat types (smooth, longish, wire), with upright ears or floppy ears, with long or medium or stumpy tails, etc - as long as they are good working dogs the cosmetic details have very little significance. Blasco is the Sardinian type - Pastore Fonnese, Ombra & Riccio are local to Bergamo area.
