Pit bull Terrier and Great Pyrenees Mix?

Question

I was wondering if anyone has any idea what this mix would look like or act like?

Answer 1

Look is questionable...depends on parents colors and dominate gene traits (black/dominate, white recessive)  The breed would be guarded due to the fact that both pets are from a working breeds.  The size difference could be vast also.  Would not be a mix I would prefer.

Answer 2

Any mix you have will have some attributes from one parent and some attributes from the other parent.  The only way to be absolutely sure what the mix of canine breeds really is would be to have DNA testing done.  

I'm unsure if your vet was making an educated guess, or did the vet know the dog's probable parents?

Mixes can look a bit like either parent, just like they can have parts of both parents' personalities and breed traits.  

Pyr mixes don't usually have double dew claws on the hind legs.  

You can join a pyr group and see if anyone there can tell you.  It's hard to know what to say without seeing her picture, and you could upload her photo to a yahoo group. -!-

Answer 3

Small Furries says her Great Pyr is a great dog, and I have a pit that is the best dog I've ever had.  Smart, loyal, and gentle!

Answer 4

Well as far as how they would act you could never know with a mix but the 1st thing that comes to mind is to watch them around strange animals/people if they are not very well socialized. It is not some big lie that pits have been known to attack and pyrs often are not big fans of other animals that aren't part of their herd coming around. (There are stories of some killing horses and such and they are supposed to kill coyotes so...).

But really I don't think it would be a bad mix (if it is one you want to adopt not something you want to breed). My great pyrenees is a great dog.

I'd say it could be long or short hair but I am not sure how all that stuff works.
