[PyrNet-L] Odd Eating Behavior

[klbyrd@tampabay.rr.com]

We have a new female Pyr puppy.  She is 9 weeks old now and has been
with a week today.  Since she has come to our house, she eats in an odd
way.  I thought at first maybe she was just getting adjusted, but there
is not change a week later.  She will not eat food out of a bowl.  We
have tried 2 different bowls.  The only way she will eat is if we hold
the dry food in our hands.  We are even using the same food she was fed
at the breeders even though we want to switch her.  She has been offered
3 different food brans, actually.  She eats the food out of our hands
like she's starving to death!  Obviously, we don't want to have to hand
feed this dog forever and have tried not doing it, but I believe sahe
would starve herself rather than eat out of the bowl!  Of course, she
has not rouble eating out of our cat's bowl!  Is this something any of
the rest have observed with your pyr puppies?  Any suggestions?
