Have you considered the possibility that NOT ENOUGH Pyrs with the right qualities are being bred? What would happen if EVERYONE spayed or neutered all of their Pyrs, even the ones with great Pyr traits and qualities? The only ones being bred would be coming from the Puppy Mills and The AKC Show Kennels. Perhaps too many Pyrs with good qualities are AUTOMATICALLY being spayed or neutered at an early age and never even evaluated for possible breeding later on in their life.

Agreed, Terry
However, Who is to make the decision that their particular Pyr. is worthy of being bred ? In this particular instance, it would then be the venue of the BYB to breed because their Pyr. is "pretty"~~
All Pyrs are pretty~this does not make them worthy of being bred~~
