Facts about Pyrenean Shepherd

Its origins lost in the mists, the Pyrenean Shepherd has resided in the Pyrenees Mountains of Southern France since time immemorial. Myths abound that the breed is descended from native Pyrenean bears and foxes; and that this was the original dog of the Cro-Magnon people who painted the mountain cave 25,000 years ago. The Pyrenean Shepherd was designed to be a sheepdog.
