“The breed is a breed of maintenance – not development!” – Guy Mansencal
To fully get to know this breed is to appreciate its history, and to learn about the place it came from. The dogs cannot be understood without understanding both of these things.
These historical prints and photographs* illustrate both the consistency of the dogs through the years, as well as displaying their unique variations. While developing in isolation in the Pyrénées mountains, their breed characteristics were solidly cemented, yet within that population different breed types developed in different valleys. These variations are still valued and appreciated today both in France and elsewhere.
