Pyrenean Mastiffs shed a lot of hair each year, so frequent brushing is essential for reducing shedding and maintaining coat health.

La Poms are heavy shedders, but regular brushing can help manage shedding and promote a healthy coat.

Choose a Pyrenean Mastiff if you want a top-notch watchdog. This breed takes guarding seriously, and may not require much training, though obedience or guard dog training can improve their skills.
