[PyrNet-L] re: chat
I received this email from a lady that was
inquiring about purchasing a Pyr. I have enclosed some of the
information I email and received from this lady. I would like to ask some
of you out there would you give or sell a puppy to someone that
1. Couldn't afford
the initial cost of a pyr puppy?
2. Lives in
a large apartment in Toronto?
3. What are your thoughts on a Pyr living in
a apartment?
It will be very helpful to hear some of you
thoughts.
If you are willing
to give this lady a Pyr puppy please email me privately and I will
give you her address.
I was looking for a female puppy and the only problem is
that I am unable to pay the initial cost of a pup but can support the upkeep of
the puppy and I have a very good vet.
I have a few questions to ask this lady
re the following..
Where do you live in house or
apartment?
If in a house is the yard
fenced?
Do you work ?
Who else if any you live with husband/kids/ other
animals? Would you be willing to pay for puppy classes for
obedience?
Who will pay for the vet costs if the
puppy/dog gets sick?
How many animal have you owned and what type of
animals?
You will have to get the puppy spayed or neutered
do you have the money for this?
To answer your questions: My
husband works and has his own business fire technologist, We have two children
high school and public school. We have a Sheba In dog and a Bengal cat that
gets along great with the dog, I have owned cats and dogs and my huband
has owned dogs (shepherds) cats , and I have been exposed to dogs and cats
since I was a little girl. training is no problem and my children are
very good with the animals. We live in a large size apartment and the
landlord has no problem with our animals that is why we are able to have these
animals. Our sheba is up to date on alll shots and gets a heart worm
preventative every year. The cat is up to date on all shots. Both
animals are spayed and neutered. I also have owned huskies. As you
can see we love animals.
Anyway to answer your questions I have 2 children.
They behave around our dog which is a 3yr old female sheba Inu and our Bengal
which is 1yr old male. Dog and cat get along great. We have a very
large apartment with a large parklike area which people in the building run
their dogs.Yes the management allows animals. Isn't that
great? My husband Is a Fire technologist and works in relation to
the fire department and police department. I am a homemaker. I
have owned a husky, and also cats..As I mentioned we have a great
vet and our animals are up to date on their shots. My husband has owned
many german shepherds.
We also like to attend dog shows and of course I like to
watch the pyrs.
Training is not a problem
thanks for returning my message. I have talked to many
breeders. Pyrs only bark when there is something to bark at. they
are quiet in the house. Like any dog that has strangers coming to the home
, that is when they bark. Breeders have told me that they are the right
dog for a large size apartment such as mine and when they are inside they do not
sit there and bark for nothing.My sheba is the same way, will only bark for a
Good reason. Thats why they make good guardian dogs.I have also done extra
research for over 1 year and other web sites have said the very same
thing. They are fine for large apartments.n Unfortunately there is too
much stereo typing that people who live in aprtments are not suited for
dogs. Did you know that the Newfoundland dogs can be kept as well in good
size apartments.
Some pyrs the ones that are problems are the ones that
bark too much. There are good pyrs and ones who's temperment are
lousy. I would not want to own one whos temperment was not that of a good
pyr.
There are people I personally know who have huskies in there
apartments who have done just fine with them. It also has to do with the
training. I could go on as I am very much informed.
Stereotyping is not good. If I stereo typed a pyr I
would say You should not own one as you do not live in the mountains and You do
not live in the Pyrenees Mountains which lies between spain and france and you
do not own basque sheep for the Pyrs to guard.
Check out the book Great pyrenees which is a #1best selling
pyr book on page 13 the top paragraph. It is a good informative book for
you.
