hello, i have been on this list for about two weeks. i have not posted
before due to the intense dwarf/eye problem debate. now that you seem to
be finished, i have a few questions for all of you.
firstly, how do respond when neighbors, extended family members, etc.
react poorly to your having such a big dog and kids? i try to explain how
gentle and loving pyr's typically are, but i am met with scepticism.
these people think all big dogs are monsters! i have been the reciepient
of many a rude comment.
secondly, what are your feelings on bark collars for pyrs? hubby and i
have reciently installed an invisible fence and are in the process of
training boone(our pyr) on it. i am concerned that because the fence and
the collar emit the same warning beep, the dog will be confused. the
company reps say that that will not happen, but i am sceptical.
thanks for any help,
cari
