EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated 1911, showcases a majestic Pyrenean Dog named after its esteemed owner, Lady Sybil Grant. The image was captured at the renowned Milanollo Kennels, a place where the finest Pyrenean Mountain Dogs were bred and raised. Pyrenean Dogs, also known as the Pyrenean Shepherd or Chien de Berger des Pyrénées, are a breed of working dog native to the Pyrenees Mountains, where they were used for herding livestock and guarding against predators. Their thick double coat, consisting of a woolly undercoat and a coarse outer coat, protects them from the harsh mountain climate. Lady Sybil Grant, an avid dog lover and a prominent figure in the dog world, was the proud owner of this magnificent Pyrenean Dog. The photograph captures the dog in the midst of the autumn season, with the vibrant colors of the falling leaves reflecting off its glossy coat. The dog's piercing gaze and alert posture suggest its keen intelligence and protective nature, making it an ideal companion for Lady Sybil in the mountains. The Milanollo Kennels were famous for producing high-quality Pyrenean Dogs, and Lady Sybil's dog was no exception. The breed's popularity continued to grow, and it gained recognition by the Kennel Club in the United Kingdom in 1933. Today, the Pyrenean Dog remains a beloved breed, cherished for its loyalty, agility, and distinctive appearance. This photograph is a testament to the strong bond between Lady Sybil and her Pyrenean Dog, as well as the enduring appeal of this ancient breed. It also serves as a reminder of the rich history and tradition of dog breeding in the Pyrenees Mountains, which continues to thrive to this day.
