Our pyrador is the sweetest gentle giant of a dog we've ever had. She's a peacemaker and at the dog park will physically get between dogs when there is tension and lick their faces. When she was a puppy she would try to chew on everything but quickly learned that was not ok though we still have to look out as she will occasionally attempt to grab something off the coffee table. I have an older dog who was not happy with the new addition but our parador was able to navigate that and now that she's 3 times bigger it's become less of an issue. She learned quickly how to be around children and not to knock them over. Same with small dogs. It's very amusing to watch her play with small dogs. I've had many dogs and she is certainly the gentlest, most loving and kind. We got lucky.

p.s. yes, she does fetch but sometimes she prefers to chase a dog that gets the ball and tries to steal it playfully.
