RE: [pyrnet] Re: Pigment change

[tom@edge.net (Thomas Snyder)]

I learn every day from this group!  I haven't had this problem, but will
keep an eye on my dogs.

Want to hear a bad mama story?  I had put a Blitz "demand" feeder in the
field with the goats and dogs with good quality food for my Pyr puppies.
The male has a St. Bernard-like head (won't win any conformation prizes) and
is tall and long.  I worried about him, wanting to make sure he got enough
food, because he seemed to be losing weight.  It took me a week to realize
that his head had grown enough that he couldn't get it in the feeder door.
I felt REALLY bad!

I've used steel bowls, but haven't found any that were heavy or inconvenient
enough to keep the female from picking it up, food and all, and running
around with it.  Right now, I'm using a container that's intended to hold a
50-pound salt block.  The female still takes it away, but it's a little
harder.  Ideas?

Has anyone ever experienced pigment change in their Pyrs. occurring
later?  Silver's nose has never been a good solid black, and as a puppy
it always appeared scratched up, like it was the only place her siblings
chose to grab her.  Now, at almost three ( March ), her black eye rims
have gone off color, but even worse, she is getting a brown area  of hair
beyond the rim.  Like taking your eyeliner and smudging it to soften the
line.  Really odd.  And now her nose is getting worse too.  Any similar
experiences?  Cindy
