begins long before our era when ancient Molossoid dogs served Asian traders in southwestern Europe. The Pyrenean Mastiff played a significant role in shepherds\u2019 lives, acting as a constant assistant on farms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pyrenean Mastiffs were so smart and versatile that they managed to graze cattle and reacted very quickly if it was necessary to stand up to protect the herd or the shepherd from attacks and robbery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The breed standard was officially registered in Spain in 1946. The breed dates back to 1890, where three Pyrenean Mastiffs were successfully presented at an exhibition in Madrid. However, during the years of war and difficult economic situations, the number of individuals decreased significantly. The situation remained tense until the 70s. And only in 1974, the Iberian Mastiff again rushed into the shows with resounding success and cemented its popularity. The standard began to \u201cdevelop\u201d anew; the breeders tried to preserve the breed\u2019s purity as much as possible. In Spain, in 1977, the Iberian Mastiff Club was organized. In 1981, the Royal Society of the Dog Breed approved the breed\u2019s new standard, which the International Canine Federation acknowledged.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"appearance\">Appearance<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The Pyrenean Mastiff looks very harmonious. It is a big, powerful and muscular dog. The head is large, and the muzzle is oblong. The characteristic color of the muzzle is a black or dark brown mask. The coat is long, bristly, white. The body may have spots, which coincide with the color of the mask. Ears set high, floppy.
