Notes
The Pyrenean Shepherd comes from humble beginnings and has long been almost unknown in most of the dog world. It has always varied greatly in type, with many local varieties of type and coat, but always with the same character. The first official breed standard was produced in 1921-1925.
The Pyrenean Shepherd should be extremely alert and lively, headstrong and wary of strangers.
The head is triangular with little stop, tapering muzzle and short, broad ears, hanging or half-pricked. The neck is rather long and muscular, with a well-supported topline and slightly arched loins.
The tail is held low and can be docked or bobbed.
