Hello Meg and welcome to the list. I do animal rescue with pyrs as my
primary breed. I am not sure if there would be a difference in a farm
setting. But my pyr Valentino has a black lab/ border collie sister that he
gets along with famously. They are both about the same age and the same
level of puppy enthusiasm. And they just adore each other. There are several
people with working pyrs who maybe able to answer your question better. But
my pyr and lab mix are best buddies.
