Re: [pyrnet] Pyr Chow

["John" <johnrus@bellsouth.net>]

Barb,

I see you are in NC. Are you near Charlotte?
We have a New 4 mo female Pyr.
I am wanting to start a Carolinas Pyr web page. Do you know of many Pyr's in
the Carolina area?
Do you think a Carolinas Pyr's club would be worthwhile?

Thanks,
John B.
