Size and Appearance

• Size: Pyradoodles are a large breed, typically weighing between 50 and 85 pounds when fully grown. Their size depends on the size of the Poodle parent. The height typically ranges from 22 to 32 inches at the shoulder.
• Coat: Pyradoodles inherit the curly or wavy coat of the Poodle, which is hypoallergenic and low-shedding. Their coats are often white, cream, or light apricot, and they may have patches or spots, depending on the individual dog. Regular grooming is essential to keep their coat healthy and mat-free.
• Appearance: They are robust, athletic dogs with a gentle, friendly expression. Their large size is paired with graceful, muscular build, giving them an elegant yet strong appearance.

Temperament and Personality

Pyradoodles inherit the best traits from both the Great Pyrenees and the Poodle, making them well-balanced and adaptable pets. Here are some of their key personality traits:

• Gentle and Calm: Despite their large size, Pyradoodles are known for their calm and laid-back nature. They are patient and gentle, making them great companions for children and other pets.
• Affectionate: These dogs are deeply loyal and affectionate, forming strong bonds with their families. They enjoy being close to their people and will often follow them around the house, seeking attention and companionship.
• Intelligent and Trainable: Thanks to their Poodle parentage, Pyradoodles are highly intelligent and eager to please. They are easy to train, and their natural instinct to protect their family makes them great watchdogs as well.
• Protective: The Great Pyrenees side of the breed brings out their natural guarding instincts. Pyradoodles are protective of their home and loved ones, but they are not aggressive. They tend to be calm and observe their surroundings, alerting you to anything out of the ordinary.

Exercise Needs

While Pyradoodles are relatively calm indoors, they still need regular exercise to stay healthy and happy. Here's what you can expect:

• Daily Walks: A good daily walk is essential for Pyradoodles to expend energy and stay in good physical condition. They enjoy walks but are not overly demanding when it comes to exercise.
• Playtime: Engage them in interactive play like fetch or tug-of-war to provide mental stimulation and physical activity.
• Active Families: While they can adapt to a more relaxed lifestyle, Pyradoodles enjoy spending time with active families and will happily join in outdoor activities like hiking or playing in the yard.

Health and Grooming

Like all breeds, Pyradoodles can be prone to certain health conditions. Here’s what to watch for:

• Hip Dysplasia: Pyradoodles can inherit hip dysplasia from the Great Pyrenees side. Regular vet checkups and maintaining a healthy weight can help prevent or manage this condition.
• Ear Infections: Because of their floppy ears, regular ear cleaning is recommended to prevent infections.
• Grooming: Pyradoodles have a low-shedding, curly coat that requires regular grooming to prevent mats. Brushing 2-3 times a week is recommended, and they should be professionally groomed every 6-8 weeks.
