Pyrenean Shepherd breed statistics

Pyrenean Shepherds, or Pyr Sheps, as their enthusiasts call them, have been herding sheep in the Pyrenees Mountains of Southern France for centuries. In World War 1, they distinguished themselves providing service to the French troops, with hundreds assisting—and often giving their lives—as couriers, guard accompaniment, and search and rescue dogs assisting in finding injured soldiers. Small, lively, and athletic, they are well suited to activities like agility and are excellent companions for active guardians.
