Origin The breed is mainly found in the Agrigentine part of the Monti Sicani: especially in communes of San Giovanni Gemini, Cammarata, Santo Stefano Quisquina, and Bivona. It is used both as a livestock guardian and flock drover. Appearance The coat is smooth, of medium length, and weatherproof. Hair forms a beard around the muzzle and on the dewlap. The basic colour is black, but the area of the "beard" is white. |
