Re: [pyrnet] CHAT: Tracing the Background of My New Pyr

Claire,

Have you tried a net search on vets in southern Idaho?  Then, try contacting
them to see if they have any idea.  I'm sure they might even be willing to
give you vet info on vets who aren't listed on the web.

Good luck and keep us posted on the progress.
