The Pyrenean Sheepdog is an extremely quick witted, sharp minded and intelligent little dog. Built to endure harsh weather and steep, rough terrain, they also have the brains to control large numbers of potentially panicky and argumentative sheep who outweigh them by as much as 50kg.
Dedicated, energetic, watchful, clever, trainable and bossy
Used to working long days, the Pyrenean Shepherd still has a crazy drive for physical activity and needs plenty of exercises every day. These herders were bred to use movement to gather a flock, where many other herding dogs use eye contact, so it is understandable why this breed loves to move!
