We had a behavior break through today! My male, Charlie,
is very loyal to people he knows even if he has not seen them for months, but
dislikes nearly all the men who work in the yard or on the house. The mailman
is regularly driven away, and let’s not discuss the Maytag Man! That
is a horror show although I have to admit, I don’t like the guy either so
that doesn’t help. The new guy I hired to get rid of all the leaves in the yard
before snow flies told me he and his wife love big dogs, had Huskies in the
past and would love to get a Pyr. We talked and Jim said all the right
things about stubborn, aloof big dogs. Huskies and Malamutes share some
Pyr characteristics and add the shoulder strength to resist good leash handling
unless they want to. In other words, Jim sounds like a good potential Pyr
owner who has a clue what he could be getting into. I brought my dogs out
singly, Sweetie the easy one first and she liked him, although as I said she is
the easy one. Then I brought out Charlie, handed Jim several dog cookies
and said he must tell Charlie to sit before giving him a treat. This is
the cue for Charlie that I think the person is ok. Charlie sat, gave his
paw got his treats. Wanted more ear rubs, did the Pyr Paw, and leaned on
Jim as if to say, “ See what a great dog I am!” I told
Jim about rescue and he is planning to Google so maybe there will be a new Pyr
owner who will adopt from rescue! Amy with Sweetie, Charlie, and Harry Pugger From: owner-pyrnet-l@pyrnet.org
[mailto:owner-pyrnet-l@pyrnet.org] On Behalf Of Trudy and the pack I'm so glad to hear your
description of the message of the movie - and yes, lets hope folks realize the
adult size, barking, and wanderlust! Training - ha, well, my male
finally knows that he has to sit before he gets his dinner - I've very proud of
that! On Thu, Dec 3, 2009 at 1:03 PM, Melissa Wyglendowski <wygate@hotmail.com> wrote: Well, there was an adult Pyr in the movie as well
playing the part of the puppy's dad, and he (or she) was quite large next to
Santa (Norm from Cheers), so hopefully parents would take that into
consideration. Plus, part of the message of the movie was to adopt dogs
from shelters :) Date: Thu, 3 Dec 2009 12:20:39 -0800

it. I have to say I was surprised that the main character of the movie
was the pyr puppy - not the retrievers. A Pyrenees was in every portion of
this movie Error! Filename not specified. If you are looking for a
movie with the quality of computer generated characters like Lord of the Rings,
this movie is definitely not for you - it was horrible from that aspect, but
the story was cute (I thought - don't ask my husband his opinionError!
Filename not specified..) And you can really tell when they use a
different pyr puppy! Get gifts for them and cashback for you. Try Bing now. |
