Welcome to the new Labranard Community site. Here you can connect with other people who are owners or fans of Saint Bernard Labrador Retriever mixed breed dogs – also known as Labranards!

We’re just getting started here so feel free to provide feedback on what you’d like to see. Yes, we know that photo upload/sharing is a highly desired feature and we’re waiting patiently for this feature to be available. Members will be the first to know when this is enabled.

In the meantime, if you have a Flickr account (or want to create one) you can submit your photos in the Labranard group and have them displayed on the main page in our photo stream.

One big request – if you know of any Saint Bernard Labrador Retriever mixed breed puppies that are available for adoption in your area, please post about it! We get a fair number of requests from people looking for Labranards and unfortunately, we’re unable to help at the moment (we aren’t breeders, just fans of this mix like you!)

Thanks for stopping by and please, take a couple minutes to register and join us!

As you probably noticed, Labranard.com has been pretty stagnant for a while now. I’m hoping to change that shortly. Within the next few weeks I am going to attempt to roll out a new site that includes a ‘community’ component. In this age of social networking, it would be nice to be able to connect with other people who own or love the Saint Bernard / Labrador mixed breed dogs we know as the Labranard.

If you have any suggestions on what you’d like to see in a community site, please feel free to comment on this post. I’ll do my best to address any requests in the initial launch. Anything that can’t be done immediately will be added to the Todo list to be tackled as time permits.

Please stay tuned in the coming weeks for more information. If you subscribe to our RSS feed you will be one of the first to know when we do go live with the new site.

Labranard Profile on Loki

Loki and Chief (Lokis first night)

Loki is the son of a massive 230 pound Saint Bernard and a tiny 50 pound yellow Lab. He had four sisters and one brother when we visited him for the first time. His original name was Muscle Bob, which was the name given to him by the children of the house. Upon his entrance to our home he immediately befriended my brother’s 1 year old Black Lab “Chief”. I decided upon the name Loki (the Norse God of mischief) because before owning him for 24 hours he had already stashed a large cache of my belongings under the utility sink in my laundry room.

Now Loki is 5 months old and over 60 pounds and is showing no signs of stopping anytime soon. His favorite activities involve hogging the bed and sleeping. I love him more than anything and wouldn’t trade him for anything!

What is a Labranard?

Well, that depends on who you ask I guess. To me (and a lot of other people) “Labranard” is just a term that describes a mixed breed dog that has Labrador retriever and Saint Bernard traits. Basically, I got tired of saying “She’s a mix between a Saint Bernard and a Labrador Retriever”. I stumbled across the term “Labranard” (actually, I found Labrenard) on another site and it just seemed so much easier.

Apparently to some people usage of the term Labranard is border-line blasphemy. I stumbled across a post on Yahoo Answers from the past week or so and it seems that some people think it is more important to bitch about the term than to provide a simple answer to the question. The person was just looking for information on how big a Saint Bernard Labrador mix would be. Instead, the majority keyed off of the use of Labranard.

Lighten up people.

Interestingly enough, this site only came into existence in March 2008. I put it together because I was noticing the search term “labranard” was showing up way more often that any combination of “saint bernard labrador mix” in traffic to my personal website. I had posted a few times about Roxie and had one single comment where someone used the term Labranard.
