| Ancestors to the Great
Pyrenees breed date back to B.C. times. These huge dogs, favored by
the French who bred them, reach great weight and strength in adulthood.
Originally trained to fight during war and work in mountains—herding, pulling
sleds, and doing avalanche rescue, this powerful breed is now beloved as
a loyal, watchful home companion. |
