About Great Pyrenees This noble breed, known as the “gentle giant,” is a Livestock Guardian Dog, originally bred in the Pyrenees Mountains of France. \xa0They are calm, patient, and smart, and were bred to work and think independently to protect the herds that were their responsibility. \xa0They are known to be affectionate and gentle with children, and protective and loyal to their family. \xa0This is a large breed, with males growing to 110-120 pounds on average, while females reach 85-100 pounds. \xa0They have a heavy double coat that requires regular grooming.
