The Great Pyredane

By combining two wonderful breeds, like the Great Dane and the Great Pyrenees, an excellent Hybrid, the Great Pyredane, is created. Whether in a family or livestock environment you will end up with a partner you can count on.

Some of the Great Pyredanes characteristics are:

Devoted,

Trustworthy,

Confident,

Protective,

Easy Going,

Playful yet Docile,

Stout & Level Headed

The Great Pyredanes coat will be shorter than the Great Pyrenees, yet thicker than the Great Dane, making it a more versatile breed, especially when it comes to heat. It will tolerate heat more easily than the longer and thicker coat of the Great Pyrenees, yet also will the Great Pyredane be more tolerant towards the cold than the Great Dane. The colors of the coat will be the ones present in the genetics of the parents. Neither the Great Dane nor the Great Pyrenees are hyper active, so you can expect a dog that will be relaxed, a couch potato that likes to play aand run, yet also will be perfectly content to Netflix and Chill! Like all dogs even a Great Pyredane needs exercise. Just like its parents, the Great Pyredane will bond with its family, property, and animals it considers part of the family. Those traits make it a well rounded guardian. Mild mannered, laid back, it is an overgrown lapdog that does love attention. Leaning on you is one of its traits. These dogs are excellent Service Dogs, Livestock Guardians for the Small Farm and fair very well as a family companion for their excellent temperament with children.

The Great Pyredane does very well to live alongside their owners in an indoor environment with the option of getting out to stretch their legs when desired. If raised as a livestock guardian they are very well suited to running with their protected stock. They are devoted to their owners, possessing guardian tendencies towards their owners and farm life, if raised as a livestock protector.

Hybrid vigor is essential in the Great Pyredane almost eliminating the most common health concerns that are typical with the original stock. Healthy breeding stock is of upmost importance with any breed. The Great Pyredane has no known allergies at this time, neither do they have any known skin issues. Their skin tends to be loose fitting.

The average life expectancy of the Great Pyredane is 10 years or more.
