| Great Pyrenees have powerful guarding instinct. The breed was developed by shepherds in its namesake mountains in southwestern Europe, protecting flocks from predators. By the 1600s, this elegant white dog had smitten the French nobility, and Louis XIV declared le Chien des Pyrenees the Royal Dog of France. The breed has ancient Mastiff roots and was bred to patrol large expanses and stand up to such predators as bears and wolves. |
