Pyrenean Shepherd

These lean but muscular dogs have breathtaking speed, grace, and intelligence. The Pyrenean Shepherd’s passion for their family is matched only by their passion for work, and parents of this dog breed should be prepared to give their dogs a job to do, whether it’s a competitive dog sport or a flock of sheep to boss around.

Even though Pyr Sheps, as they’re sometimes called for short, are purebred dogs, you may find them in the care of shelters or rescue groups. Remember to adopt! Don’t shop if you want to bring a dog home.
