The Pyrenean Sheepdog (Smooth Faced) is a highly energetic, exceptionally agile, and brilliantly smart herding dog from France. Slightly taller and significantly faster than their rough-faced counterparts, they were bred to drive sheep across the rugged Pyrenees with blistering speed.
This breed is intensely loyal to its family but naturally suspicious of strangers, making them excellent watchdogs. They are brilliant problem-solvers that absolutely require a job to do, such as advanced agility or herding trials. Without vigorous daily exercise, they become highly destructive. Their short, smooth coat is surprisingly weather-resistant and very easy to care for.
