RE: [pyrnet] Question, 40 Pyrs

Title: Message

Chrissy;

In once again speaking with the Animal Control Officer, she indicated there were skin and respiratory issues, as well as shy and timid personalities. Potty training was non existent, but I definitely see your point, as I come from 20 years of raising large working breeds. As of last week, the Animal Control Office indicated over (30) Pyrs had found qualified adoptive homes, and she indicated they had very specific criteria for adoptive parents. I just hope it all works out for the dogs and their new owners.

As far as the house goes, it was a farm house and nobody even knew a family lived there. It was a grandmother, her daughter, and granddaughter. I am waiting to hear what charges will be assessed to all involved.

Subject: [pyrnet] Question, 40 Pyrs

Question. All 40 some Pyrs were kept in the house together, all the time and there are no battle scars? Unless this was a huge mansion, so many Pyrs in such cramped quarters, even the best behaved, would have had there spats over territory, food, etc. and only an elderly woman to handle them all.....as I gather they were basically all hers?

Beth,

Conversely, they will also be lonely for canine companionship because they have never been alone. When I adopted Sweet Madeleine, her previous caretaker wanted to be sure that she would be with another Pyr because she had grown up with several others. Fortunately, Charlie and Sweetie became best buddies from the first sniff.
