Description
HistoryThe Pyrenean Mountain Dog, also commonly known as the Great Pyrenees, is a large, majestic breed of dog that was used traditionally for protecting livestock (especially sheep) in pasture.
It is a very old breed, and has been used for millennia by the Basque people. The Basques are an indigenous people who inhabit parts of the region in and around the Pyrenees Mountains of southern France. More recently, it has served as the official dog of the royal French court (whose prominence began circa the Middle Ages, and lasted until the middle of the nineteenth century).
