I was not really trying to tell you not to save
the blind puppy, who certainly needs saving, but to warn you - before you
decided to keep the puppy yourself - that pyr males - especially intact studs
-often do not get along very well.
In my 20 years with the breed I have known many people
try with two pyr males together, some have been succesfull, but more have
failed. One of the things that have seemed to make a difference is difference in
age. Male litter mates are probably more likely to end in failure than any other
combination.
Of course there is never any guarantee that any two
dogs will get on, no matter what sex or age, but most of the pyr breeders I know
keep two or more females together succesfully, but almost none can have their
intact males together, so I think it is fair to say that chances of succes are
higher with females than with males.
All this may be irrelevant because you are not trying
to choose an other dog to fit in with the two you have already, but deciding
whether this little blind fellow will fit in.
Margeret gives you some good advice as how to introduce
this young fellow, but the way I see it is that if there are going to be
trouble, it probably won't be now - no well balanced adult dog will
seriously harm a puppy - but in a few years time when both these males are
adult.
Anyway I hope things work out well for you and the
blind puppy. Good luck to both of you.
