I think that it is perfectly normal to feel
nervous Betty, it really is like bringing home a baby. I have always worried is
it enough to have Pyrs as just "pets", because they all show the strong
tendencies to guard and they love to do it. But we can't all have sheep and
goats, and should that be enough for us not to enjoy this wonderful breed, I
think not. They just live a different life from the Guardian Dogs trained for
that purpose. Our Toby is 10 this year and he has been a wonderful companion and
friend, I always feel safe having him in or outside of our home, he lets the
world know that he is there and that is all I ask of him. I think that if a Pyr
puppy comes into a home loved and appreciated for the beautiful breed that they
are, then there is no need for guilt, any more than I feel sad that my Golden
Retriever Hannah doesn't retrieve game. Toby barks and Hannah
swims thats as close as we will probably get to their origins. So enjoy Dante
and make him your beloved companion and he will reward you over and over
again.
Jo, Toby and Hannah(Golden)
