Pyrenean Shepherd

The Pyrenean Shepherd originated in the mountainous Pyrenees region of France, bred primarily as a herding dog for managing sheep. This breed is known for its high energy, intelligence, and agility, making it an excellent working companion. Its medium-length, wavy or curly coat requires regular grooming to prevent mats and maintain health. Due to its strong herding instincts and active nature, the Pyrenean Shepherd thrives in homes where it receives ample exercise and mental stimulation. This breed is best suited to experienced owners or active families who can provide consistent training and socialization. While affectionate and loyal, it may not be ideal for apartment living or first-time dog owners due to its exercise needs and spirited temperament.
