Michaelene, pardon my ignorance, but what does GSD stand for? German
Shepherd something? I know what you mean about Pyrs, I got mine over the
period of a week and at first was trying to compare her behaviour with my
Golden, which was just silly - apples and mangoes! No comparison. Luckily,
the breeder (a wonderful lady!) who had rescued Freya was able to set me
completely straight about their character. It is one thing to read about it
and quite another to live with an individual Pyr...Generalisations do not
seem to fit this breed very well!
