Hi,

Both my pyrs slowed down their growth around 8 or 9 months.  Pyrs are often
picky eaters, and if you aren't careful ,you will be manipulated into giving
them all sorts of tasty additions to their kibble. My pyrs can often be
persuaded to eat by playing a game called "forage".  I stand on the deck and
throw their kibble around the yard.  They think this is great fun and
actually eat everything.  I have a male and a female who get along very
well.  This probably should not be tried with same sex dogs!

Susan, Seamus, and Jasmine
