RE: [pyrnet] question on pyrs

["Viney, Bethany" <Bethany.Viney@tdstelecom.com>]

You are so lucky to have a wonderful marshmallow head!  Your experience is
very typical of a Pyr.  However, I have taken Czar through (5) training
classes, and he has done absolutely wonderful. (Except for agility, where he
was scared to death of the tunnel, so we never finished the class).  Czar
also passed his Canine Good Citizen test in August, and we now perform
volunteer work at an assisted living center.  He brings so many smiles to so
many people!  He is so gentle, and loves any attention he can get!  As long
as someone's hand, foot, head, leg, etc...is touching him, he is happy!  He
can never be too close to anyone, and considers himself a 120 pound lap dog!
It is also not unusual for a Pyr to have fear of certain sounds such as
thunder, etc....Czar also has the uncanny habit of trying to follow
airplanes and helicopters in the sky as they fly over!
Sounds like Bramble is perfectly "normal" by any Pyr standard!
Enjoy your big baby!

Subject: [pyrnet] question on pyrs



My hubby and I have an 18m pyr named Bramble. We bought her off a farm,
where she was the last in the litter, for an LGD. She was12 weeks when we
got her and had never had much human contact.

She has NO interest in being a LGD. Oh well, we'll try another time. As a
pet, she is wonderful! She is, however, almost a velcro dog, being a little
nervous of things and sounds, and always hungry for attention. I went to
basic obediance with her and she is quite good although she really hates the
"stay" command. <g>

I always thought Pyrs would be more 'stand-offish' and less likely to obey.
Bramble really is a wonderful girl, and from this list it sounds like her
affectionate ways are pretty much the norm?
