      I am sitting here rudely laughing because that is what pyrs are all
about.  Unfortunately incessant barking is what lands all too many pyrs in
rescue, because people cannot believe how irritating the barking can get,
and are sure that they can train their dog never to be like that.  This is
also the reason that, although I still show her, I will probably will never
breeder her, as, in my present state of health and household situation, I am
not up to contending with this at this time.   Furthermore, there are so
many that pass through rescue now that I refuse to be a contributor to the
problem of this very special breed, and my next pyr will probably be a
rescue.  (And I am an experienced breeder, and one with probably too much
conscience.)  And as for the complaining  neighbors, I remind them that
although homes all around us have had uninvited guests taking inventory of
the household contents,  none have bothered to  try to enter my house.

just  not worth wasting barks on
