We rescued an elderly Pyr when an elderly shirttail relative went into a nursing home. Had her about 8 months. Nice girl, but flea-infested, gave all my pets fleas and the house too before we realized it. Totally overgrown coat and dewclaws in bad shape. Had to be confined days because she wanted to gnaw on the chickens, lol. But she patrolled freely at night and made a great LGD. Sad when she died. Would love to have a puppy of this breed, if I were fit enough to have a puppy again, which I'm not. Poor sweet old girl. She had a good life with us at the end. We got her squared away pretty quickly.
