Don't let him loose on his own.No pyr young or old can be really trusted to
remain in boundaries not determined by a fence.(And of course some don't
respect fences either)Pyrs are often lost or killed by cars when they've been
allowed to roam or get out of their yards.To a puppy everything looks worthy
of exploration and an adult can roam a long distance before asking themselves
which way is home.Remember our breed historically ranged long distances with
their sheep herds.Most breeders will ask a prospective pyr owner to have a
fence before they get a pyr because of the danger.Please don't trust your
puppy out on his own.Maybe you could fence a small area for the time being.
I'm sorry about the allergy problem.It has to be really hard on you not to
have Samson in the house with you.
Good luck
