Some people are structurally evaluating and aptitude testing the pups at eight weeks of age.  This gives a pretty good prediction of a good quality Pyr.  They then have the "lesser" pups juvenile spay/neutered or placed on a s/n contract.

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.
