We recently adopted a male pyr, Thunder, who used to be a livestock guardian, he was attacked in the field by coyotes and the farmer took him to the local animal shelter. He is approximately 1 1/2 - 2 years old and we have had him about 3 1/2 months.
He is an amazing boy and has adapted to living inside extremely well. ?He absolutely loves everyone and is very affectionate and would like nothing better than to sit and be petted all day. ?He gets along very well with our other pyr and our sheltie (both females).
Our only problem is that he recently has become very protective of me with my husband. ?He is perfectly fine all of the time except when my husband comes to give me a kiss goodbye before he leaves for work in the morning. ?I am usually still asleep and most days both of our pyrs jump up on the bed after my husband gets up. ?I am wondering if it is because I am laying in bed and my husband leans over me to kiss me goodbye that Thunder does not like? ?Has anyone else ever experienced this and if so do you have any suggestions? ?He has not actually tried to bite, but he barks and growls in the same way a dog does when he is protecting his food bowl, which he did when we first got him, but now that he realizes he has his own bowl and no one else will eat out of it he does not do that anymore.
Thanks so much,
Christine
