Male bashing time, huh.  What makes males so much different?  My male just 
loves kids and is as sweet as can be with them.  The last pyr rescue I got in 
here was a female and I had her euthanized rather than place her.  Way, way, 
too nippy, and ready to bite.  An unsound minded dog is an unsound minded 
dog in any breed and should never be placed with any family and I simply don't 
agree with I just can't do it and pawning the problem off on someone else.  It's 
called do what's best for all concerned.  You can't rehabilitate them all even 
though you'd like too.  There are too many good ones out there that need good 
homes.
