A woman on another breed list has asked for help -- she works with Animal Control in the east and needs some advice on dealing with a Pyr or Pyr cross that has just some into the pound. My experience is limited, so any advice that can be offered would be appreciated.

I have a Pyr (was told a Sammy cross, but he looks a lot like a pyr) that is in the pound for biting a 5 year old. Actually, he had been re-homed less than 24 hours earlier and was given a bone, which he was protecting at the time. More than likely, I will have to euthanize him, but I would like to know from other pyr members if this is something that would be within "norm" behavior for this breed. This dog is only just a year old and he was placed WAY to early to begin with at only 5 weeks of age (puppy mill in TX?). The owner, who got him from TX, placed the dog in a home with 2 young children but I would be willing to bet that it is likely that he would have done well in either a working home and/or an adult only home. He seems like a sweetheart, which makes this really difficult.
