Photographs
A collection of old and new photographs of the Pyrenean mountain dog.
A wealth of photographs
From the very beginning, with the advent of photography, the rise of tourism in the Pyrenees mountains and the development of the Pyrenean mountain dog breed, countless photographs of this breed have appeared.
We have grouped a number of them into three categories.
Historical photographs
The Pyrenean mountain dog has appeared on postcards since the 1900s. This provides a very good picture of the development of this breed over the years. Fortunately, we can say that the breed has not changed significantly.
In addition, many photographs of breeders and exhibitions have been preserved. These provide a good picture of breeding over the years.
Modern photographs
If there were already many photographs 100 years ago, in the current era where everyone has a camera, an infinite number of photographs are taken. It provides a good picture of the modern Pyrenean mountain dog and its function, still today, as a livestock guardian but also as a loyal family dog.
Stardom
Despite the enormous popularity of the television series and later the cinema films ‘Belle et Sébastien’, the Pyrenean mountain dog has fortunately never become a fashionable dog. It is too large and too independent for that. However, due to its imposing yet friendly appearance, it has not gone unnoticed by filmmakers, writers and celebrities.
