I agree with Ms. Wilder

Pyrs are very protective of personal property.  My boys would never let
a strange dog or person on their property without my letting them know
its ok.

Even at shows my boys would never allow another male dog near me, they
are on gaurd all the time.  Yes, they do try and figure out what the
situation is in their minds, but, they would never allow the other to
make the first move.
