The Pyrador, also called the Labranees, Lapyrenees, or Pyrelab, is a hybrid dog breed that is a cross between the Great Pyrenees and a Labrador Retriever. It is a large-size thick-coated dog with colors of black, yellow, white, or chocolate, a large, deep chest, and a powerful body. This hybrid dog is a few decades old. However, the Labrador Retriever is a sporting breed that dates back to 19th century Newfoundland, where it was used as a working dog by fishermen, and the Great Pyrenees is a working breed that goes back to the early 1600s where it was used for sheepherding in the Pyrenees mountains between France and Spain. Today, the Pyrador is a popular working breed as well as a companion pet.
Due to being a hybrid dog and able to favor the traits of either parent or both parents, Pyrador’s possible coat colors are yellow, chocolate, and black like the Labrador Retriever parent, or white or off-white with badger, grey, tan or reddish-brown markings like the Great Pyrenees parent.
The Pyrador (or Labranees) is a large size, double-coat, and medium to long hair dog with a weight range of 55-100lbs for both males and females and a height range of 21.5-32 inches for both males and females, fully grown. Due to being a hybrid dog breed, the Pyrador has features from both parents but overall tends to favor the build of one parent, and many do not reach the full height and weight of the Great Pyrenees parent. Hence, its weight can range anywhere from 55-75lbs, 70-90lbs or 75-100lbs due to the Labrador Retriever being medium-sized and the Great Pyrenees large or even giant-sized. Males tend to be larger than females in both weight and height. Pyrador puppies weigh about 12.5lbs at 8 weeks of age and are typically fully grown between 18-24 months.
