Re: [pyrnet] Hello, Osa, and the Super Bladder Dog...

["Amy Bailey" <newbailey@comcast.net>]

You did not say, but I assume Osa is an adult.  It seems to me that my dogs,
20 months and 12 months, both can go a long time too.  Or if there is
somethng interesting going on outside, they can need to go every 15 minutes!
My guess is that as long as she goes, and does a suitable quantity, she is
ok.  After she gets used to you though, you might want to encourage her to
go in other places away from home so that if you take her away for a day she
can go and be comfortable.   We had a malamute who refused to go away from
home and he had a terrible weekend when he needed to be boarded.

Don't forget that dogs are on their pyr-fect behavior when they first join
your home and when they settle in and get comfortable, they dare to let the
naughties slip in!   Pyrs bark, shed, bark, chew, paw and bark but we love
them anyway!

> Hello, we just joined the list, we adopted Osa, a F Pyr a week ago, and we
are just amazed with her. We have never seen a more well-behaved,
well-mannered dog.  We researched the GPCA website before we got her, and
she is everything they promised about her breed and more.

housebreaking issues, in fact, we worry about her because her potty breaks
are so few and far between.  It's like the girl is all bladder.  We take
long walks, and when she is on the lead it's like she is all business and
won't go: Sorry, can't stop, I'm working. We have to set her out in the yard
and encourage her to do her thing, and even then she bides her time about
it.  Is this normal for Pyrs?
