Re: [pyrnet] new pyr owner

Barb and Bonnie, I've read that Pyrs. will drive the animals to a safer
location for guarding if they can, or it's available to them, during a
threat.  So I think your absolutely right Barb as far as the bunching is
concerned.  And I have also heard that in a general way males will go out
to meet a conflict, while females will guard more at closer range,
keeping what she is protecting closer to her.  I think that would come
from the protection of young, in a females basic nature.  A female can be
far more aggressive in protecting her charges, but won't go out looking
for trouble so to speak.  I think that is why having both sexes ( spayed
and neutered ) makes good sense in a big operation.  Just my thoughts on
the subject.  :-)

By the way, welcome to the new members on the list!
