The Great Pyrenees, or Pyrenean Mountain Dog as the breed is called in the UK, is a beautiful large, white dog [some colored markings on the head and the body are allowed] with a "certain elegance" which for centuries has been the working associate of peasant shepherds high on the mountain slopes; the dog was "discovered" by French nobility in the seventeenth century and elevated to the status of court dog of France, where his official name is Montagne dés Pyrenées or just " Patou ". The dog conveys the distinct impression of elegance and unsurpassed beauty combined with great overall size and majesty. The Great Pyrenees possesses a keen intelligence and a kindly, while regal expression. The Great Pyrenees belongs to the oldest dog breeds known to us. Since hundreds of years the Great Pyrenees served the humans by protecting and defending their flocks and property against wolves, bears and other predators ! Today, in some countries, they fulfill still this task as Livestock Guardian Dogs. But much more the Great Pyrenees is a deeply loved and admired Companion and Show Dog.
