Border Collie Pyrenees Breed Details
The Border Collie Pyrenees can be a great herding dog that will retire nightly to be a devoted companion and guard dog. They can be good for first-time dog owners but they may be slightly challenging. They are great with children, deal well with other dogs and can be trained and socialized to not chase the cat or most other non-canine pets. The ideal home is a ranch, but a house with a large, well-secured yard will do. Apartment living is not recommended.
