This dog will be euthanized. She bought this dog from someone who had a male and female Pyr who just decided it would be fun to breed them. And she probably does not know the background of her breeding pair. As long as we are cleaning up the messes left by these people, we will continue to get on their cases. And if some of us ask more questions about health issues, temperament, breeders, etc. than you might feel is appropriate, please remember our motivation for asking is our love for this breed and our fears for its future.
Information is extremely important and helpful.
All the information I can get allows me to make more informed decisions and better judgments in dealing with the Pyrs that come into Rescue. The ownership of any dog involves certain responsibilities and this is particularly true of the giant, livestock guardian breeds. A Pyr owner has an obligation of caring for and controlling a dog who will likely outweigh them and is certainly going to be stronger than they are. Unless we take the responsibility seriously and are willing to put the time, energy and thought needed into raising our dogs properly, a Pyr will be a burden instead of a joy. Well, that's all folks.
