What Is a Pyredane?

A Gentle Giant Full of Love, Loyalty, and Presence

We’re excited to introduce you to a truly remarkable purpose bred mixed breed that we’re proud to raise on our family farm: the Pyredane. A unique cross between the noble Great Pyrenees and the majestic Great Dane, this hybrid brings together the best qualities of two gentle giants to create a loving, loyal, and family-oriented companion.

Let’s take a look at the origins of this incredible crossbreed.

The Pyredane combines the calm, watchful instincts of the Great Pyrenees with the loyal, affectionate nature of the Great Dane. The Great Pyrenees is a large, thick-coated guardian breed originally developed to protect flocks in the Pyrenees Mountains between France and Spain. The Great Dane, known as the “Apollo of dogs,” is a giant, smooth-coated breed celebrated for its elegance, gentleness, and devotion to its family.

Together, these two breeds create a powerful yet sweet-natured companion that brings a perfect balance of watchful protection and gentle affection.

What to Expect from a Pyredane Puppy

First and foremost, Pyredanes are true family dogs. Their Pyrenees heritage gives them a natural instinct to protect and watch over their loved ones, while their Dane side offers an affectionate, people-loving spirit. They tend to form strong bonds quickly and are wonderfully gentle with children and other pets.

Thanks to their intelligent and eager-to-please nature, Pyredanes can be responsive to training—though their independent streak (courtesy of the Pyrenees) may require some consistency and patience. With proper guidance, these pups grow into well-mannered, devoted companions.

While their size may be impressive, it’s their calm temperament, loving personality, and quiet silliness that truly makes them stand out. Whether they’re lounging by your feet or watching over the yard, Pyredanes offer a peaceful presence with a big heart to match.

the Pyredane is a perfect fit.
