How do I keep my Great Pryenees puppy from the road?

[deb1]

I have just over an acre of land. We were able to slowly put in a fence, buying the posts bit by bit and then when the income tax refund came in, buying the fencing itself. It took us several months to put up the entire fence but I am overjoyed that we have it up now.

Perhaps, you could do something similar. That way if you have to put the dog on a chain, it won't be for very long.

A few wooden posts each month isn't that expensive.

I didn't put in a chain link fence because that is too expensive.

My neighbor fenced off a smaller area for her dog and then later fenced in the larger area. Maybe you could do something similar.

Nope, I had my four month old pyr spayed on Friday. Did it because I didn't want any pups.

Not to wander off topic, but I think that if the owner was so easily dissuaded from breeding the dog because of one comment, perhaps she should not be breeding them in the first place.

Not trying to be rude in any way, but it just seems that the OP is ill prepared to be breeding Great Pyrs. Before deciding to breed dogs, or anything for that matter, you should educate yourself deeply on the subject. Everyone knows that there a multiple levels in the quality of a dog breed. Heaven knows, that your average run of the mill German Shepherd is almost a completely different breed than a working German Shepherd. The same goes with any breed.

Unless you're heart and mind are set on it, which it doesn't seem to be the case, I would discourage a casual breeding. Your dog will live a long and full life without having to have a litter of puppies.

If you are intent on breeding these dogs. Educate yourself deeply on their breed/history/health, so you know what to breed for, what health issues to watch out for. Then you need to build appropiate facilities, Pyr pups get big and fast, you're going to need a fence. Buy the best possible breeding stock you can, make sure to get health guarantees, hip checks, registration papers, etc.

To me, it just seemed that you just want some pups running around. If that's the case, volunteer your family and home as a foster for a local Pyr rescue.

Like I said, just offering advice and sugestions.

I think she was making a joke. A dog with pups is a b*tch.

Couldn't agree more with you.

I really feel that if you don't show or aren't trying to better the breed by working or conformation lines then you really shouldn't be breeding.

Look at all the animals destroyed in animal shelters each year. Look at all the breed rescue groups.

I'm pretty sure a "grump" is a female dog regardless if it has pups or not.

Edited to add: Why in the world is the "proper" term blocked? That's silly, because a proper term for a rooster, a "cock", isn't blocked. Sorry, mini ramble...

Grump obviously equals b*tch.
