will tell you temperment is hereditary.  While I do not know if the pyr 
that bit, should be euthinized, I was not there to see the event....I 
can and will say it is definately a dog that should never even be 
considered for breeding, nor would I want anything related to it.  
Temperment is what makes or breaks this breed...it is what allows them 
to co-exsist with us and what decides wether or not they (the dogs) will 
have good judgement.
	By no means am I trying to scare you, but simply try and make 
everyone aware that our dogs walk a fine line.  They must be guadians 
without being viscious.  They must reason but reason with re-straint.
When these animals are bred without reguard to tmeperment....that is 
quite often when you get injuries and or even death.
	To protect the breed we must protect *what* the breed is.
