Re: [PyrNet-L] dominance/aggression

I'm 2 for 2 because I don't have problems with any other breeds with
my 2 pyrs.  My old girl will go up to any other breed dog and just
want to be friends.  When I got my pyr boy as a rehome at 2 yrs of
age I had him in obedience and worked with my trainer that I use
because this is not a behavior I want or will tolerate out of them. 
He'd also been returned from an abusive home.  We were very careful
how we worked him and the being very careful paid off because I
haven't had an occasion when being out and about that he thinks it's
an option to go after another breed dog, male or female.  Though he 
has clearly shown me as my old girl has that if the need arises they 
will both protect me.
