Great Pyrenees

Great Pyrenees
The mighty Great Pyrenees mountain dog guards herds in open spaces. It is one of the largest sheepdog breeds in the world, capable of facing and repelling attacks from brown bears and wolves. The thick Great Pyrenees coat protects him from the elements when he works high in the mountains. Great Pyrenees dogs work by patrolling the perimeter of the flock, constantly retracing their steps and alert for danger. They are calm and patient and are quick to leap to the defense of the herd, displaying great courage in the face of danger.
