The Pyrador is a mix of the Labrador Retriever and the Great Pyrenees breeds. The result is a large, graceful dog with a double-coat that can be solid white, yellow, black or brown.
The Great Pyrenees is a livestock guard dog, bred for its sturdiness, attentiveness and fierce protective instinct over its ward, whether human or animal. The breed originated in the mountainous Pyrenees region between France and Spain, and is known to be nocturnal, an ideal guard dog. It is one of the older extant dog breeds.
The Labrador Retriever is descended from mastiffs and water dogs, first used by fishermen in Newfoundland and Labrador as service dogs and hunters around bodies of water. Its intelligence, friendliness and tractability has led to its popularity among dog owners.
