 My 2 "puppies", now almost 11 years old. They are harlequin Pyrenean Sheepdogs (Shepherd if you are from the USA), and "blue merle" if you are in South Africa, the UK or USA (totally wrong, because the harlequin and the merle are genetically different, even if they are phenotypically similar.


Wow!! Thank you all - second blue in a row!


I found this quote about the breed on the Pyrenean Shepherd site of the USA and it describes them to a T: "Nature created this breed. He was made by the mountains and wind".

This was almost 11 years back ... same 2

Congrats on your two blues Gaby.

Your link to when they were pups doesn't work. Hopefully this one will

Yes, I was admiring your little pooch all wrapped up in toilet paper in the Oops! Challenge :-).
