History

The Labradane is a large, gentle dog breed that was once on the brink of extinction. The breed is thought to have originated in the Labrador region of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The name "Labradane" is a combination of the words "Labrador" and "Great Dane". The breed was nearly wiped out by a series of devastating events, including two world wars and the Great Depression. However, the Labradane has made a comeback in recent years and is now recognized as a distinct breed by several kennel clubs.

The Labradane's ancestors include the Newfoundland, the Saint John's Water Dog, and the Great Dane. The breed was developed in the early 1800s by crossing these three breeds. The resulting dogs were used for hunting large game such as moose and bear. They were also used as working dogs on fishing boats and farms.

The Labradane nearly became extinct due to a series of events that began with World War I. Many of the dogs were killed in action or died from disease during the war. The Great Depression that followed also took its toll on the breed, as many people could no longer afford to keep their dogs. World War II further decimated the population, as many Labradanes were again used in military service and died in battle. By the end of the war, there were very few Labradanes left in existence.

Fortunately, some dedicated breeders worked to save the remaining dogs and revive the breed. In recent years, the Labradane has experienced a resurgence in popularity. The breed is now recognized by several kennel clubs, including the American Kennel Club and Canadian Kennel Club.
