Pyrenean Shepherd

The Pyrenean shepherd, know as the Pyrenean Sheepdog by the UK Kennel Club, is the smallest and one of the oldest of the herding breeds of dog. The medium haired dog has two types of coat, rough- and smooth-faced, the latter of which has short hairs covering its muzzle.http://www.pyrshep.com/

In World War I, the Pyrenean shepherd was used as a "communications dog" by the French army. After the war, when the numbers of dogs had diminished due to casualties suffered, they were bred to emphasize their herding skills. In the 1920s, standards for the breed were developed in France, and the Reunion des Amateurs de Chiens Pyreneens was created in 1923.Pyrenean Sheepdog Club of Great Britain: History
