Yes, they are very special indeed. An ancient breed, bred to protect livestock against wolves and bears in the French Pyrenees, then they became the Royal dogs of Paris, but almost became a lost breed until about 60 or 70 years ago. Our “Ivory” just loves to play with our grandchildren, she is very loyal, affectionate, and intelligent, but can also be very stubborn at times, given all of her great qualities, we can live with a bit of stubborn.

Yes, they can be so stubborn. I think it’s because they are so smart. Sometimes mine look at me like “I have to think about whether I’m gonna obey you”, lol I love how they want to lean on you too. Mine will lean in on both sides of me when I’m walking.

Here’s my big boy:
