I am totally with you on that.  Not the point of my questions at all.  I am 
looking for your experience as one who work their dogs in a real working 
situation and have many others around you doing the same for a long time.  I 
really do not want to pay much attention to some "stories" unless the source 
is very credible.  This is more of an academic discussion on my part i.e. 
would a Pyr do something and hopefully nothing in my questions or the by 
anyone who joins in the discussion would ever be construed to give license to 
anyone to not neuter and spay.  That would be very irresponsible of me and 
the discussion.  I also do not want to get someone else's take on what they 
have read and been told by others on the Internet or otherwise.  I have done 
that already and had their impressions of what they have read used to refute 
actual information from someone who I felt had good information.  Only later 
to realize the information that was interpreted from did not quite portray it 
like it had been used originally.  I do not want someone to think for me.  
That's why I ask such questions of someone like you, who really lives in the 
situation and I do not see you as having any agenda of your own.  

So spay and neuter, please!!
