Hi. Jan..this has been discussed at great length on another Pyr group and the consensus was that he is a Pyr even though Nana was definitely a Newfie in the original storyline, it actually mentions her on the very first page. I don't have the book but found out this information on the net. Thanks for including the NZ Pyr links I really enjoyed looking at them. We are originally from Britain and have lived in Canada for 24 years but New Zealand has always been a country that I feel we would have been happy to have emigrated to. My youngest son backpacked in Australia and NZ several years ago and loved it.

Subject: Re: [pyrnet] Pyr on movie
My daughter saw the movie recently and having been involved with Pyrs for over 25 of her 27 years she stated that the dog was a Pyrenean Mountain Dog. We do have the darker head colour on some of our Pyreneans here in NZ. I would like to see the movie myself and form an opinion.
The original Nana was a Newfoundland far as I recall. Now I wish I still had the book of Peter Pan from my childhood..Captain Hook used to terrify me!!!
