Yes, lets celebrate them all.  They are our very beloved ones and very 
special in the Canine world simply by being Pyrs.  There are good ones and 
ones less good, but that is all subjective man made assessment and criteria 
by another could turn the rating scale upside down.  

Breed impact wise (genotype), few really make much of an impact and it takes 
years to know who these few are.  We really will not know about Bonbelle 
(impact wise) now for maybe another 10 years or so.  Early evidence is 
fragile at best.  What Jan says is important.
