Re: [pyrnet] Pyr weight

["Allison" <pearldigger@earthlink.net>]

this makes me think of a vendor i saw at a recent dog show.  i had my male
there and we were looking at the items he had for sale, and he told me he'd
never seen a pyr w/so much hair. and, that a show dog wouldn't have that
much hair nor would make it in the show world.  and he knew b/c he'd been
doing this for 18 years!  hehehe!  course, he's never owned a pyr and
probably thinks a kuvaz is a pyr, too! lol!  i told him that was real funny
b/c i've owned several, done rescue work and have known pyrs for years, too
and i've never seen one w/o a thick coat.  i suppose he thinks they should
have a chinese crested coat?  lol!!
