There are also some Belgian Malinois here in the states who have a whole 
different breed than we see in the AKC shows.  Magnificent animals who are 
heavy duty and I would not want to be on the receiving end with them either.  
The folks I know are dedicated to the breed and believe these are the 
original type dogs.  We simply cannot let something like this happen with the 
Pyr.
