Réunion des Amateurs de Chiens Pyrénéens Breed Standard for the Montagne des Pyrénées (Great Pyrenees/Pyrenean Mountain Dog) (French Club for the Great Pyrenees and other Pyrenean breeds. France is the country of origin of the Great Pyrenees. The shepherd families in the Pyrenees Mountains have been breeding Pyrs for livestock guardian purposes for generations, reaching back thousands of years. These structural, phenotypic and temperamental requirements are taken from the original requirements of these shepherds. The Great Pyrenees Club of America/American Kennel Club standard, as well as other legitimate standards, are based on this standard of requirements. These requirements were and still are used by these same shepherds to determine purity and therefore working ability. This standard is in French, however, you should be able to do a basic translation from your computer or other device.)
