Oh God yes, nothing as great as a Pyr puppy - picking out one's own
special one is one of the joys. People that come here for a puppy get to
choose - the only thing they are told is which ones I'm considering
keeping and if they are one of their choices to please make a second
choice(pick 2). Yes, rescue needs homes but, many rescues can't be
placed with some people that would make wonderful owners, I always tell
anyone looking for a puppy to consider Rescue first.

Hey, getting a puppy out of many breeders will take some convincing them
you are deserving, not even considering the money involved.
