1. How much land do you have or do you recommend for
perspective puppy parents??? I
have almost 2 acres of land, but my first 2 pyrs were raised in a 1000 sq ft
condo. When I lived in the condo I walked them twice a day and took them on
long walks on the weekends. Now that I have more land, I still walk them off
property daily. I think the walks/attention/interaction is more important than
acreage. 2. Does it make a difference if the pyr is not the only dog
in the family? I
think it really depends on the dog. I have 2 Pyrs now and have had single pyrs
in the past. Pico was an adult male (6YO) when I brought in Laela and sparks flew for a while,
but they did get to the point where they were comfortable with each other. When
Pico passed and I got Tucker 4MO male, Laela was not initially thrilled, but
now they are inseparable. 3. Do you recommend this dog if they will not be used
as a LGD? YES!
They are fantastic pets. 4. What is the ideal size of the home of a pyr owner??
Please see my answer to 1. Even in a
2000SQFT home, I am constantly stepping over dog bodies. They always want to be
where I am. It can get very tricky in the kitchen and one of the important
commands that we are working on with Tucker is “out of the kitchen” Jennifer, I would say that if you really want a Pyr, you
will find room for it. Elaine, Laela and Tucker |
