TJ's Na-Na :
Okcarla.....the picture is driving me nuts ! Aren't those Pyranese
puppies ? We lost our female last year and it just about did all
of us in. Hubby says "No", not this winter. Do you raise them?
What would be the chances of reserving a female puppy late next
spring? Yup, I already know, they are a total pain for that first
year, but then, they are almost human. "Sassy" understood
every word we said, and there were no uninvited critters on our
place. She was a huge female. I would love to find another one
that was from smaller stock, and even then would love to get
my hands on the "runt" of the litter. These kids think that their
critters should be able to come in and play.
Yes, they are Great Pyrenees. I aquired them all this year and hopefully we'll eventually raise pups next year. They are excellent livestock guardian dogs, and lots of poultry people (including other BYC Okies) have them to guard their flocks and property. We started out with just one, but thought it would be great to preserve the breed. I had a really hard time finding any AKC pups in Oklahoma and was even searching in neighboring states. Lots of people with pyr mixes, but few with purebred pyrs and much fewer with AKC registered pyrs. I just love them! Their personalities are so very different from other breeds of dogs .... nothing like any other dogs I know ... extremely intelligent too! We got our Daisy from fellow BYC Okie Tina, aka luvs2garden2000, but I think she had her female spayed.
Monty, I sure hope your knee heals quickly. I know you want to visit the Shawnee show. Just tell the Mrs. that you want to celebrate your anniversary at the show!
