I think they addressed the shedding by giving one treat for cleanliness (or
something like that) and commenting that they shed a lot once a year in spring
and summer.) I remember thinking at the time that that wasn't my idea of
what cleanliness meant. Of course, I am learning that Pyr owners are not
best advised to have black as their primary wardrobe color at any time of year,
which I would not have picked up from watching this program. Also, last
year, Anais did her major shedding in and around February, quite near her first
birthday, and I find that a lot more hair is starting to come out now again, so
she at least doesn't seem to be following the spring/summer shedding.
I really think that 1/2 hour is not long enough to give even a brief
overview that includes the important points. They left out major areas
when they did Wolfhounds, as well.
I did really enjoy seeing the puppies with the little lamb. I would
have liked that part to be longer and would have liked them to show Pyrs living
in other than country types of circumstances as well. I also thought that
they overemphasized the need for a large property. I find, in my very
limited experience, that Anais gets exactly the same amount of exercise in my
very small side yard (about 15'x50') as she does in my larger back yard, where
she completely ignores the whole yard and runs back and forth along the 50 feet
of fence line that is along the road.
Stephanie, Anais & Ciaran
