I am translating a text about dogs and need to know how the name of the breed "Bergamasco" should be written in the Italian language. I hesitate between:
- Cane da pastore bergamasco
- Cane da pastore Bergamasco
- Cane da Pastore Bergamasco
- Cane da pastore bergamasco
- Cane da pastore Bergamasco
- Cane da Pastore Bergamasco

Tha Italian language doesn't use capital letters as often as english; speaking about dogs, no capital letters are required except for the first letter in the sentence

sono d'accordo con D'Alessandro. Italian does not use capitals to the extent English does. Things are changing, though, under the influence of English, I suppose. On the net you will find all kinds of usages, but in this case I would stick to the manuals: bergamasco is an adjective, so it does not need capitalization.

pastore bergamasco
I agree with the second answer (cane da pastore bergamasco), but "pastore bergamasco" is enough, the context is clear, I think it's the best solution.
Do you agree?
Hope it helps
