Hi just one correction I'm from barcelona and my grandmother (paternal) is from aturias. The GP is from the entire Pyenees mountain region which covers/forms the entire border between france and spain. Not a basque dog but used by the basques who live in between catalonia and asturias which is in great part mountains that cross over to france. Throughout the Pyrenees there are small towns with the ideal terrain for shepparding which date back to the medieval times.
The people tend to be very tough, they (we) are the most stubborn people of all of Spain, hence sometimes our not so great reputation, especially in politics. Amoungst ourselves we are not very forgiving. Maybe a trait of people from difficult climates. They would not think twice of leaving the dog with the livestock and never if rarely allowing the dog in the house. And like all members of the household, human or animal you are put on this earth to do a job and do it correctly. That tends to be a village mentality anyways. They are breed to watch any animal and people. My grandfather had one and they're very friendly. Don't forget the mastiff from aragon.
Otherwise great information.
ps there are a lot of cows and bulls in the fields, loose.
