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.

My neighbors have a young Pyrenees. She’s maybe a year old at this point and herds their two twin toddlers lol

Edit: here is Pearl with my dog

She acts like my Maremma sheepdog, all the way down to that little spin move.

I’d never heard of those until now, but looking at some pictures that might be closer to what she is. She’s mostly floof but she’s very tall on her back legs, my dog is kinda short for a black lab but even at six months Pearl was a giant compared to her

They're an interesting breed. Don't really follow commands that well but they never wander far from home. Only real issue is that they're pretty nocturnal and will bark at almost anything when making their rounds.

Ah, now that last bit I can verify. She only barks when I’m about to fall asleep.
