Although the exact origin of the Pyrenean Shepherd is unknown, certain evidence suggests that this dog has been bred since medieval times. The breed derives its name from a variety of sheep in France for which it was used for herding and guarding. This breed played an important role in the First World War when it acted as a courier, a watchdog and also as a rescue worker.
