Introduction

Characterized by their intelligence and agility, Pyrenean Shepherds are energetic herding dogs with a lean build. They sport a wavy or rough coat often in shades of fawn to black. Deeply loyal and extremely active, these vivacious dogs excel in obedience and love mental challenges. Their size ranges from small to medium, but their enthusiasm for life is anything but modest. Best suited for active homes, they thrive with regular exercise and close companionship.
