Pyr History

​Pyrs were bred centuries ago to work with shepherds and herding dogs in the Pyrenees Mountains, the natural border between France and Spain.
The Pyr’s job was to watch the flock and deter predators, whether wolves, bears, or livestock rustlers.

Their innate patience came in handy when sitting atop a freezing-cold mountain for days on end with nothing to do but look at sheep.

Their courage when defending the flock is legendary.

The Great Pyrenees was bred to be a livestock guard dog for the farmers in the Pyrenees Mountains of Europe which form the border between France and Spain.

 These farmers bred the Great Pyrenees and the smaller Pyrenean Shepherds; the latter was in charge of herding, while the former was in charge of protecting the flock from predators like wolves and bears.
