Re: [PyrNet-L] Great information!!!

["Joe & Kathy" <chewbear@msn.com>]

Hi Alison, It's Kathy.  We just received some info from Edie who's on this
list. If you want to read some neat stuff about pyrs, go to:

http://www.geocities.com/heartland/hills/3591/index.html

We have gotten lots of helpful info from the above site, including standards
for the breed.

For the very best general info, I think this list is just great. Most
everyone is helpful & really care about the dogs (not just their own). Much
good luck with your new "baby".

Kathy, Joe, Chewbear(Sammy) and Heidi(pyr)
Wish you well.. Woof, Woof
