Been very busy with 10 new Pyr pups and still
trying to read the emails from Pyrnet.
Barb I will be interested to know if this dog is indeed
a Pyr Mastiff or maybe a heavily marked Pyrenean. We do see them here or
overseas with the much darker grey markings and I have owned Pyrs like
that. If you part the dark hair on the head you will see the lighter gray
underneath.
Re the tails being wheeled over the back, most certainly not
like the Spitz Breeds, screwed up in a coil type tail which leaves an indent on
the coat on back where tail rests like an Akita!! Wrong, very wrong
but also in my opinion wrong with the tail that never leaves the hocks no matter
what. To me the tail in a wheel over the back of a Pyr going about his
business, seeing daylight through that "wheel" looks just great. Not the
"mushroom," to the aside tail either nor the sabre like tail which is not sure
where it should be, held out like a sabre, will I wheel or wont I or maybe I am
too short to wheel? Nor the tail tucked between the back legs not ever
wanting to leave there. ( Yes I have seen them all and bred them all
apart from the one not wanting to leave the backside! ) and to me the tail
rising when the Pyr is on the move and forming a graceful wheel is the nicest
one to see.
Must dash, cooking some "Brocauli" which is a crossbred
vegetable from Brocoli and Cauliflower! Now the last time I cooked Brocoli
here a huge Caterpillar ( 3 feet between the eyes) leapt out at us and I had to
flush him (after a huge battle) and the brocoli down the dunny (Loo, john,
toilet) back in the 1980's. Teeth like razorblades on it, went for my
throat. I have never cooked brocoli again until tonight when I found this
crossbreed vegetable! I am having huge problems convincing the wearer of
the shorts that he will be safe from caterpillar attacks, there are 4 Pyrs in
here to protect him but he's not convinced? We are still arguing on this
one. He says no matter what they call it it's still Brocoli. To me it
looks like a Cauliflower but a pretty lime green shade? Let you know end result
but it aint looking good.
