Amy was turned over to Rescue by a local Shelter. The following is from her foster home.
Amy is a very sweet but shy girl. She was brought to a shelter as a stray. It appears that she has not had much socialization and is tentative in unfamiliar situations. She does warm up with in a few minutes when handled in a matter of fact manner. She tends to be more shy when first being introduced to a large group of people (10 or more people). As she gains confidence Amy is coming out of her shell. She is approximately 14-18 months old. We are not sure if she is spayed and will need an ultra sound to verify her spay status. Amy does well with other dogs but plays rough. Amy is very well behaved during a vet exam. She was a social butterfly in the waiting room because the other clients and their cats ignored her for the first few minutes. This allowed her to relax. Then her Pyr instincts kicked in and she realized no one was admiring her. Pyrs need to be admired so she began to snuggle with everyone in the room. She sniffed the cat carriers then ignored them. Amy is good with children but due to her exuberant play her foster home recommends children seven or older. Amy walks nice on leash and is mostly house trained. She gives one sharp bark when she has to go out. If not taken right away she is likely to have an accident. At this time she would not be able to hold her urine for an eight hour work day. Amy is not crate trained yet. She was afraid of the crate but is becoming more accepting of it especially when she sees the children in her foster family go in the crate to play. If Amy is afraid to try something new she is more willing to give it a go if she sees children do it first. Amy does chew on household items (magazines and things made of plastic) when left alone when her people go out. If she is left unattended but knows someone is home she does not get into mischief. Amy is between one and two years of age and still in the "chew phase". Amy does not guard her food, toys, bed or rawhides from adults or children. She is a little particular about other dogs coming on her bed. Her foster home is working to correct this. Amy rides nicely in the car. Like most Pyrs Amy is a barker. If the windows are open at night she will bark to let you know about everything she hears that is not familiar. Amy loves to cuddle and be pet.
