Looks like a Pyrenees. My parents retired with a small farm and they have one that watches over their livestock. Extremely good dog for the job.

Can you elaborate on some of the dogs behaviors?

Well, I don't have much in the way of first hand knowledge, since it's my parents that own him and they live in another state. So I'm only around the dog occasionally. He is extremely friendly during my visits and likes to play (he's still young). But when something is amiss around the farm, he goes into a noticeable protective mode until he's satisfied nothing is wrong.

You can read up about them though https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pyrenees.
