Re: [PyrNet-L] Drool in Oz, etc

Michael,

Your yard sounds fine to me, but we have a house Pyr who only gets walked 
on a leash, so you have a better situation than we do

Many Pyrs don't drool, except when they get hot or excited.  We happen to 
have a drooler, but that is really the exception here in the US and 
excessive drooling usually means an excessively loose mouth, a fault in 
US Pyrs.  You might want to check with some other breeders.  I'd also 
worry about the 8 year life expectancy, which I think is below the 
average for the breed pretty much anywhere.

Shedding should be more of a concern for the "house proud."
