I am new to the list and the breed, but my 71/2 month pyr rescue,
Benjamin loves tug of war with our foster lab mix and to play with squeaker
toys. When he brings me a ball and I throw it, he looks totally hurt, like
"I brought you a present and I can't believe you just through it away!" He loves
to find sticks out doors and sneak them in to chew. He also likes to do clicker
training--for the treats, of course!

My Pyr chews rawhides sporadically. He
isn't really the toy type (he prefers to mess with the other animals and
people living in the house). I probably bought $500.00 worth of toys
looking for something he liked, then one day we were in Petco getting some
fish supplies, and he grabbed a 14" diameter furry ball out of the bargain bin
(first and only time he has grabbed something at a pet store without
permission so it was really unexpected) so I bought it for $1.50 and took it
home. He absolutely loves it (also found out it has an internal squeaker
which he will squeak at you when he wants you to throw it for him). It
is the only toy he has any use for, and he has had it for almost two years
now. He is very careful not to damage it, and will carry it around the
house with him in between napping spots. My suggestion is to take your
little one to the pet store and walk around all the toys until they show a
particular affinity for something, then try it out. Start with the
bargain bin.

Subject: [pyrnet] toys for
boredom
Hello,
...any ideas for toys that pyrs enjoy.
Mine are not the playing type, but I feel that they get bored. Does
anyone have a pyr with a favorite toy that keeps them occupied for a
while???? Are rawhide bones OK for treats?????
Thanks, PAM
