Great Pyrenees…descendants of large dogs which roamed the mountains of Asia thousands of years ago.

Great Pyrenees accompanied the nomadic tribesman and their flocks from Asia on their migration westward to the Pyrenean Mountains where they met ideal environmental circumstances for their development.

 

 

 

 

 

In the 17th century, Louis XIV made the strikingly beautiful Mountain Dog the official dog of the French Court.

 

 

 

 

 

The Great Pyrenees have served humans for hundred of years, guarding  their flocks and property against wolves, bears and other predators.

 

 

 

 

Today they are still used as Livestock Guardian Dogs in America, Canada, Israel and Europe where they are reintroduced to live with the flocks.
