The Pyrenean Mountain Dog, known as the Great Pyrenees
in North America, is a large breed of dog, used as
a livestock guardian dog. The Great Pyrenees is a
very old breed, and has been used for hundreds of
years by shepherds, including those of the Basque
people, who inhabit parts of the region in and around
the Pyrenees Mountains of southern France and northern
Spain.
