The best thing about a Mini Pyredoodle is their sweet and calm nature. They are a combination of a Great Pyrenees (Livestock Guardian Dog) and a Mini Poodle (Fishing and Fowl Sporting Dog).  You get the best of 2 breeds in one. A pet that will guard and watch over your family and property while being an affectionate and caring playmate for your children.  This new breed is actually known as the “Nanny Dog”. They LOVE children.  Although there may be some variation among individual puppies, a fully-grown Mini Pyredoodle usually stands 12-24 inches tall and weighs 35-55 pounds. Mini Pyredoodles generally live for 10-15 years.
