Dogs In The Herding Group

The Pyrenean Shepherd has been herding sheep in the Pyrenees Mountains in Southern France for many centuries.  There are two coat types rough-faced and smooth faced; coat colors range from fawn, tan, copper, charcoal, silver, and pearl grey.  The Pyrenean Shepherd is well known for it's work in World War I; they served as couriers, search and rescue for soldiers after battles, and also accompanied soldiers as guard dogs during their rounds.  The Pyrenean Shepherd was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 2009.
