History of the Pyrador[edit]

The Pyrador is a carefully bred hybrid, combining the protective instincts of the Great Pyrenees, historically known for safeguarding sheep in the Pyrenees Mountains, with the amiable traits of the Labrador Retriever, a beloved hunting companion and consistently popular breed in the United States. The Labrador Retriever, tracing its roots back to the St. John's dog, initially served as a versatile worker retrieving various items from the sea. In the 1800s, breeders like James Harris and Walter Scott sought to refine the St. John's into a proficient gun dog, leading to the emergence of the Labrador Retriever through strategic breeding efforts. On the other hand, the Great Pyrenees boasts an ancient lineage, having protected sheep from predators like bears and wolves in the Pyrenees for millennia. Speculated to have descended from large white flock guardians in Asia Minor thousands of years ago, these dogs adapted over time to serve as guardians for people and property, earning prestigious titles like the Royal Dog of France in the 1600s.[1] Though originally tasked with protecting livestock in the remote mountains, they later found roles as loyal guardians and even jailer's dogs as large predator populations dwindled in their native habitat.[2]

Tempermant[edit]

Pyradors often showcase a mix of traits inherited from both parent breeds. These include loyalty, protectiveness, affection, and intelligence. They are known for their alertness, eagerness to please, obedience, and ability to learn quickly. In behavior, Pyradors may exhibit herding instincts towards family members and other animals, pursue smaller prey due to their hunting instincts, and bark to alert their family of unfamiliar visitors.[3]
