Great Pyrenees are still widely used today to help farmers protect their livestock.  The above links will take you into their world where you can appreciate the working ability of this magnificent breed.

Danny & Anita Crafton have  a wonderful page dedicated to their Livestock Guardians.   One very "Famous" boy named "Jack" in particular is a big favorite on the Pyr-L list.   Please visit his page and have a look around at the other wonderful dogs and writings of Danny - especially "White Dogs In The Moonlight" - you will not be sorry.

There is nothing more rewarding than “therapy work”. Patient, owner, and dog all attain much joy through this type of work. The Great Pyrenees takes their role in stride and never ceases to amaze how “in tune” this breed is with the needs of all living creatures.
