Pyrenean Mastiff
The Pyrenean Mastiff is a noble giant from Spain, originally bred to protect livestock from predators like wolves and bears. They are famous for being 'gentle giants'—extremely affectionate with their families and remarkably patient with children. While they are calm and quiet indoors, they remain vigilant guardians who are wary of threats but friendly to guests once properly introduced.
