I agree with you Joe and besides there are many correct pyrs out there with
correct temperments as well!    You may not see them at the shows but they
are out there.   I fell in love with pyrs from pics of those from france.
I was lucky enough to have one in my neighborhood - Barbs "Bo" is a
beautiful dog with outstanding temperment and every day I walk by her house
I would stop and admire him and he knew it!   He would cew back at me, and
till this day he still does it - just a little "my handsome Bo" gets him
going.


Please don't forsake the beauty of this breed for size - in time with
careful planned breedings we can get back the look that so many of us fell
in love to begin with and what the breed should be.

Have you hugged your Pyr today?  Gunner's off to the "Fat Farm"
and Murphy's still ROTF laughing!  Ha! Ha! "FAT BOY"
