Looks like a mixed breed to me but I'm no expert.

Also no expert, my guess would be a mix with a good bit of Pyr.

with unregisted dogs, dogs from irresponsible breeders, and other similiar situations, there is no way to know for sure. She may be a mixed that is primarily GP. She may have zero GP and be a random mix that happens to have some traits in common with the breed. She could be purebred but very poorly bred, with no concern for the standard. All 3 are possible but, looking at her, one of the first 2 are more likely.

It looks to me like she has a merle coat pattern. Merle occurs in a number of breeds, including several breeds of shepherd, but it wouldn't be found in a purebred Great Pyr. That spells "mix" to me.

Thanks for the replies.What could she possibly be mixed with besides a shepherd?

Here are some more pics of her.

It is very common for Pyrenees to be crossed with other guardian breeds. Anatolians, Maremma, and Leonbergers are all commonly crossed to produce a better overall guardian. If you really want to know, have a DNA test done.

I wouldn't waste my money on the DNA tests. For anything other than paternity, they are notoriously unreliable. Even known purebreds come back as unfathomable mixes from time to time

I don't think so, aren't they usually white with no spots? I dunno
