Do you know where she came from? With those ears and domed head I see beagle or lab mix. But it could be camera angle.
I have an Anatolian now. She came from pure bred parents(saw them at the place I got her from). I had a rough coated pyr and a smooth coated pyr down in AR. As pups you couldn't see any difference in the appearance of the smooth pyr and the toli as a pup.
I see subtle differences now as an almost adult toli compared to the smooth pyr but it's mainly lack of undercoat on the toil.
I don't think I would wager a guess on seeing the differences as young pups. Unless you get the typical rough coated pyr. Which sets them apart from other white LGD breeds.
What ever she is, she is darling!

how old is she? What is her weight?
Pyrenees have thick full coats... never heard of nor seen a purebred pyr that was "smooth-coated"
The picture is not giving a very good scale as to the size.

Anatolians have long lanky legs even as 8 week old pups. Pyr's are heavier boned have double dewclaws that often pass on to their offspring even when mixed with another breed.

Both breeds are large dogs.
As puppies go----
An average pyr and toli at 8 weeks (Female) is 16-20 lbs,
Large- female at 8 wks 20- 20+ both pyrs and toli's
Small- female at 8 weeks 13-16 lbs


The number one thing I find in the picture that would be questionable as to whether she is would be her tail.
The tail is incorrect for either breed. Unless she is really young like a 4-5 week old pup. Both breeds at 6-8 weeks have much thicker tails that are "fuller". Definitely would have more coat on it than she does.

I will say she has a strong stance and is too cute!:) Her blonde eyelashes on the one eye is typical in many pyrs! LOL

Of course more pics would be great....

Ok, so I just like pics of dogs :p

i went and seen her and her family. Father was Anatolian mother was Pyr. She has a curly pig tail like dad and coat like dad weight im guessing 15 pounds at 7 weeks o and the dewclaws on the hind feet. and omg do they play dead well LOL. When we went to see them there she was laying in the pen with goats all around not moving one bit. My kids where like is that one dead LOL. We watched her and she seemed to be good with the goats. And since we got her she wines wanting in with the goats. But my goats are scared of her lol. Will get more pics later trying to work on her pen to get it finished up.

I just don't see the mix but what do I know. If you saw the parents I am more than willing to keep looking at those darling pictures and watch her grow into what she's gonna be! To cute!
