Whispering about the Pyrenean Mountain Dog (ASMR)

It is my pleasure to whisper to you about the pyrenean mountain dog otherwise known as the Great Pyrenees. This extremely lovable and interesting doggo has had a wide influence on culture and definitely remains an interesting specimen! I hope you enjoy.

__________ BRIEF info to assess if you want to watch:
The Pyrenean Mountain Dog, known as the Great Pyrenees in North America, is a large breed of dog used as a livestock guardian dog. It should not be confused with the Pyrenean Mastiff.

As late as 1874 the breed was not completely standardized in appearance, with two major subtypes recorded, the Western and the Eastern.[3] They are related to several other large, white, European livestock guardian dogs (LGD), including the Maremma Sheepdog (Italy), the Kuvasz (Hungary), the Akbash (Turkey) and the Polish Tatra Sheepdog or Polski Owczarek Podhalański, and somewhat less closely to the Newfoundland and the St. Bernard. According to the Great Pyrenees Club of America, the Pyrenean Mountain Dog is naturally nocturnal and aggressive with any predators that may harm its flock. However, the breed can typically be trusted with small, young and helpless animals of any kind due to its natural guardian instinct.[4]

The Pyrenean Mountain Dog breed experienced a dramatic falloff in the number of U.S. AKC breed registrations from 2000 to 2010.[5] The breed was ranked at No. 45 in 2000 but by 2010 had dropped to No. 71. In 2013 the breed was ranked No. 69. Other large breeds in the same working group classification, the Newfoundland and the St. Bernard, have fared far better in maintaining their breed rankings, being ranked No. 44 and No. 45, respectively, in 2010.

❓ What IS ASMR? Why are you being WEIRD? ❓
ASMR is a tingly relaxing phenomena that occurs when some people hear, see or feel different things! Videos tagged with 'ASMR' are created with the express purpose to try to trigger these relaxing feelings. Personal attention, whispering, clicking and various sounds & visuals commonly trigger this sensation. People watch ASMR for relaxation, escapism, entertainment, to pass the time, to sleep or to avoid being lonely. You don't need to feel weird about watching ASMR!
If you do not experience ASMR, you are definitely still welcome to watch! If you don't understand the feeling - the closest I can explain is the feeling of getting a relaxing massage from a professional massage therapist.

Below are some excerpts I have paraphrased from Wikipedia for further detail:
Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR), sometimes auto sensory meridian response, is a tingling sensation that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine. A pleasant form of paresthesia, it has been compared with auditory-tactile synesthesia and may overlap with frisson.

ASMR signifies the subjective experience of "low-grade euphoria" characterized by "a combination of positive feelings and a distinct static-like tingling sensation on the skin". It is most commonly triggered by specific auditory or visual stimuli, and less commonly by intentional attention control. A genre of videos which intend to stimulate ASMR has emerged, of which over 13 million are published on YouTube
(Wikipedia, 2020).
