Great Pyrenees
Originally, this dog was used by shepherds as a guard dog.
Like the Malamute, the Great Pyrenees sports a weather resistant double coat. The outer coat is long and thick and lays over a fine, wooly undercoat. Their coat tends to be thicker around the neck and shoulders where it appears like a mane.
Loving the outdoors, this breed enjoys being in the snow. And, while it is known for its confidence and gentleness with children, Great Pyrenees are also known to be strong willed and independent.
