Why a Great Pyr Newfoundland?
Targeted Attributes of our Great Pyrenees Newfoundlands:
- Decrease in roaming tendency
- Increase in bone mass over the purebred Great Pyrenees
- Maintains the gentle and child-friendly temperament that the Pyrenees are so well known for
- Enhanced coat for even better all-weather (rain & snow) durability while working on the Homestead.

A better suited "Small Homestead" Farm / Guardian Dog?
All those who have experience with the Purebred Great Pyrenees know they are prone to have a BIG vision of what their territory is, so they roam. Probably the biggest problem small farmers / homesteaders have to deal with in regards to having a purebred Great Pyrenees is their roaming tendency, even with fencing they sometimes seek to escape the fence. Adding the Newfoundland genetics diminishes their desire to take off, yet they still have the Great Pyrenees traits to be working farm dogs / livestock guardian dogs.
Update November 2022: Starting in 2023 we are going to be further cultivating the perfect homestead/ farm dog. While the addition of the Newfoundland genetics to Great Pyrenees genetics are great, they do decrease the energy & drive of the dog. Therefore, we've got big ideas and will be furthering our 'design' for the perfect, ideal, healthy, all-purpose AND highly-attractive homestead dog in the coming year (s). The most dominant genetics component will stem from the Great Pyrenees. Our purposefully & skillfully designed breed will be the SUM of purposeful 100% intentional design of a few different breeds/dogs. And to the skeptics out there- well, I don't care if YOU are skeptical. We are NOT! :-) The mixing of already existing breeds is how every recognized breed we have today was originally made in the first place. We aren't talking about temporary "fad" breeding. With every treasured & valued breed of dog we have today- they started when people recognized a need of enhanced & varied canine features. So they took a variety of available breed components and interwove them until they reached the desired outcome & consistency of the new desired dog breed. And that is also what our vision & intent is. The sum of a dog breed (and any animal breed) is purposefully interweaving specific genetics in order to get:
- Desired structure appearance
- Desired Size
- Desired Skill
- Desired Temperament Traits
- Desired health
- Consistency in all of the above
