I saw dogs very much like this on a mountain in Catalonia (although not in the actual Pyrenees). There was a pack of them wandering around on their own, with whom we crossed paths several times. Once, we saw them with their mistress. It seemed she had basically deployed them as a patrol, going around checking on the sheep without human supervision! They were incredibly friendly towards us, accompanying us along the trail for a while.
- rpmisms 5y agoThey're basically wolves, but instead of hunting, their drive is to protect. They're amazing dogs, incredibly smart, and don't let the cuteness fool you, they can kill most predators without a problem. My dog's grandfather tore the entire throat out of a coyote without breaking a sweat, dragged the corpse home and tossed it under the porch, looking extremely proud of himself. Then he went back to lying down in a field with the lambs and letting them jump on him.
