Where Every Paw Feels at Home.
Also known as Berger des Pyrenees, Pyr Shep
A small, quick mountain herder with an enormous engine
This lightweight French mountain herder was bred to work flocks on steep pastures, and it is fast, agile and highly alert. It is best for active owners who love training, and it needs a lot of daily exercise and a job to do.
Last updated
This breed needs about 90 minutes of activity a day. Around 5 sitter-led sessions a week keeps that routine going when work or travel gets in the way.

Best-matched service

Yes, they are quick to bark at movement and sounds. Early training and enough exercise help keep it in check.
They can be, when well socialised, but their speed and herding habits suit older, active children better than toddlers.
