American Kennel Club - Pyrenean Shepherd

The Pyr Shep is naturally distrustful of strangers, but when well-socialized from a young age, he or she has a very lively, cheerful disposition.
. . .
The hocks are clean, well let down, well angulated and often close together.
. . .
Natural ears are semi-prick with one-third to one-half of the leather falling either straight forward, or to the side in the case of a rose ear.
. . .
As speed increases, the legs converge under the body toward the centerline.
. . .
This is emphasized by the distinctive smooth face with its short, fine muzzle hair.
. . .
The hind feet characteristically toe out slightly and this must not be faulted.
