Origin and history of the breed
The Pyrenean Mountain Dog is a majestic and ancient breed whose roots go back centuries. It comes from the Pyrenees Mountains, located between France and Spain. At first, these dogs were bred to be reliable herd guards against wolves and bears. Their massive figure, thick white coat and balanced nature made them ideal guardians. In the Middle Ages, Pyrenean dogs became popular among the nobility, because they were not only used in the household, but also valued as defenders of estates. They became a decoration of castles and courtyards, which emphasized their status.
The character of the Pyrenean dog breed
This breed combines calmness and majesty with loyalty and independence. The Pyrenean Mountain Dog is a natural guardian – he is attentive, balanced and extremely loyal to his family. At the same time, it is not too intrusive and can show independence in decision-making, which is laid down since the times of shepherding service. With children he is kind and patient, with other animals he behaves calmly, but always remains wary when it comes to the defense of the house or owner. His loud, deep voice and massive figure are a strong argument for unwanted guests.
Grooming a Pyrenean Mountain Dog
This breed’s greatest pride is its thick white coat that protects it from cold and heat. Grooming the Pyrenean Mountain Dog requires patience and regularity. Its coat is long, dense, with a thick undercoat, so combing should be done at least 2-3 times a week, and during the shedding period – daily. Without this, it is possible to form tangles, which not only spoil the appearance of the dog, but also create discomfort. Bathing is recommended not too often – once every 2-3 months or in case of heavy soiling is enough, because the coat has natural self-cleaning properties.
Special attention should be paid to the paws and nails – due to the large weight of the dog, the nails are quickly sharpened, but require control. Regular cleaning of the ears is also important, as a thick coat can cause moisture to build up and infections to develop.
