Facts & Origin
Maspyr - Pyrenean Mountain Dog and Bullmastiff Mix
The Maspyr is a cross between the Pyrenean Mountain Dog and the Bullmastiff. These two breeds each have an interesting origin. The Pyrenean Mountain Dog originated in the Pyrenees, a mountainous region between France and Spain, where it was used as a herding dog. The Bullmastiff, on the other hand, was bred in Great Britain and served as a guard and protection dog. The combination of these breeds results in the Maspyr, which combines the best qualities of both breeds.
Both the Pyrenean Mountain Dog and the Bullmastiff have a long history, dating back to the 19th century. The Pyrenean Mountain Dog was bred by shepherds in the Pyrenees to protect their herds from predators. The Bullmastiff, on the other hand, was bred specifically to guard estates and livestock from poachers. Crossing these breeds creates the Maspyr, which brings a combination of protective instincts, alertness, and loyalty.
