If you don't feel 110% comfortable about it for ANY reason, then you're doing the right thing 
by not taking her. They're great dogs, I couldn't ask for any better dogs than my Pyrs. But I'll 
be the 1st to tell you they're certainly not a dog for everyone.
Aside from placing an ad in the paper I don't have many other suggestions. Whoever takes 
a Pyr *really needs to do their homework 1st, they need sturdy fences and then tend to 
bark alot, they're big, strong and they eat about 30-40 lbs a month, they're not 
low-maintence dogs but the people who get one expecting to give what they get are 
seldom disappointed.
