Summary
About Pyrenean Mastiff
Large Spanish livestock guardian, the Pyrenean Mastiff is a giant, steady dog with a dense white coat and dark patches. Calm, observant and deeply loyal, it’s affectionate with family yet reserved with strangers, needing space, firm but gentle training, and experienced ownership.
About German Spaniel (Wachtelhund)
Medium, robust German hunting spaniel built for dense cover, with a thick, weather‑resistant coat in brown or brown-white. Very loyal, often one-person focused yet family friendly. Highly energetic, driven working gundog that needs intensive exercise and meaningful tasks; still uncommon outside Germany.
