These gentle guardians are strong and big-boned. The Great Pyrenees is sure-footed with smooth movement driven by powerful hindquarters. And for good reason, too—these dogs were once bred for guarding flocks on the steep slopes of their eponymous mountain range. Thanks to their hilly origin, Great Pyrenees dogs also sport a fluffy, wooly coat once used for cold winters.
