History

Pyrenean Shepherds descend from an ancient line of herding dogs known among shepherds of the Pyrenees (the mountains forming the natural border between France and Spain) since time immemorial.

Care and Health

This breed needs weekly brushing to keep his coat free from mats and tangles and looking its best. His scruffy appearance comes from his double coat—a soft undercoat and a protective outer coat—which features a combination of straight and short to moderately long hair. The harsh outer coat may shed quite a bit, while the soft undercoat can mat very easily. The coat can be kept combed out and left as it grows, or can be corded as desired. Cleaning ears and trimming nails are an important part of his grooming routine.
