Baryk is a male Cao de Castro Laboreiro born in 2015.

He is a placid pet and companion to the family.

You might ask the question, from where does his name originate?

His name made its first appearance in a Czech childrens book by Frantisek Nepil called Ja Baryk, meaning me Baryk.

Obviously, Baryk is a dog in the story. This wonderful fairytale book about Baryk's adventures throughout the year is a family favourite

When we first met our new very large and clumsy puppy with very kind eyes, he reminded us of this friendly, kind and caring dog from the book and here we are.
