In the last century, they almost became extinct due to the decline of the predators in the mountains. They were known as a wolf and bear killer. The breed was saved in the 1970s and is flourishing in Spain and throughout the world both as livestock guardian dogs and family companions.

The Basque Shepherd Dog (Gorbeiakoa Variety)
Euskal Artzain Txakurra (Gorbeiakoa Variety)
The Basque Shepherd Dog (also known as Pastor Vasco) is an extremely rare, loyal, exceptionally intelligent herding dog breed. They originate from the Basque Country in Spain. They can have yellow eyes or light brown. We have the only one in Canada. There are only around 300 in the world of this variety!
Our Bordagaray Argibel (above) was imported directly from Spain. In addition to working around the farm, she also is the first ever Basque Shepherd to hold a title outside of Spain or France - our Canadian Champion!
Beautiful Red Coated Male
This is Legun. He moved to California as a herding dog when he was young, with a Basque Shepherd (person). Sadly, his owner passed away but he found a new home working cattle and sheep with an American farmer. He passed away at age 13.
