BREEDING PROGRAM
Ranch Raised, Ring Ready.
Wild Bunch Ranch, the home of Le Patou Great Pyrenees, is located on the beautiful Central Coast of California. My passion is to preserve the original traits of this magnificent breed. Le Patou dogs are well-socialized with a variety of people. They are raised with sheep, chickens, geese, and working Border Collies. My priority is to raise stable-minded dogs with a sound temperament. These wonderful companions are livestock guardians on my ranch and excel in the show ring. They are smart enough to do both and know the difference. All Le Patou dogs are health tested. My goal is to raise exceptional dogs who excel as healthy family dogs, livestock guardians, and AKC champions. It is a joy to produce the breed I have loved since childhood.

The term “pastou” (or patou) is derived from the word “pastre”, meaning shepherd in old French and designates a shepherd’s dog as it was understood in times past. (Ariege Pyrenees)
