Manny;

My Pyr Czar also has a very sensitive stomach.  He cannot tolerate any
dog treats that have peanut butter, pork, apples, barbequed treats, etc.
If I feed him treats with those particular ingredients, he ends up with
diarrhea, and a very upset stomach.  I then end up giving him a pepto
bismol tablet and some rice to settle his stomach down, and then he is
just fine.  I experiment with different dog treats on occasion, and this
is how I have discovered his sensitivity.  I now only feed him very
basic ingredient dog treats, with nothing added.  I also give him small
amounts of cheese once in a while, which he loves and he can tolerate.
My Alaskan Malamute could eat a tin can and not have it bother her, but
Czar the Pyr has a very, very fussy stomach, and I have learned to
adjust to keep him happy and healthy.

Our female Pyr Athena seems to have a tender stomach.  We have to be
careful 
in what we feed her.  She seems to get diarrhea rather easily.  So we
never 
give her any really fatty meat.  She gets a long walk everyday and is 
otherwise very healthy.  We feed her half a mix of a prescription only
low 
residue dog foot along with a dog food that has chicken as the first 
ingredient.  Has anyone else out there experienced this kind of problem.
We 
have had her checked out for any worms.  So that is not the issue.  Her 
stools are often soft, and then we load up on the low residue dog food
and 
that seems to fix her.  Any input would be appreciated.
