Hi Brandi

The Pyrs could well have been on their best behaviour because in my
experience Pyrs are barkers at any given opportunity.  I would think if I
was buying a Pyr puppy today I would like to know the environment the
puppies are coming from plus what sort of health checks are in place (Hip
scores for Mum and Dad) vaccinations, wormings and the like. Will the
Breeder be able to take the puppy back if things don't work out? Does the
Breeder belong to a Pyr club that you could be joined into as a member for
extra advice and support?

 There are a lot of questions to ask and the above are just a few things
that come to mind.  Am sure others on the List can offer more handy hints
and advice.

Good luck,

Jan
