I use to raise these when I had sheep, they are great dogs and look like lil polar cubs when they are pups.

I used to have dairy goats... that's what origionally got me into Pyrs. I don't have goats right now, but still adore those Pyrs. :)

If you have a chance.. Start taking pictures once a week, and watch him grow.. Try weighing him once a week.. It's amazing how fast the weight goes up.. I had to do it because Socks was the runt of the litter, and the rest were double the size of him.. He made it to 17 lbs (thanks to my dad), and I'm happy to say he's steady at 15 lbs of muscle..
Enjoy

I try to get a pic weekly, (My camera is on the fritz). I do know he gained 10 pounds last week. He is now 11 weeks old and weighs 40#.

That puppy is adorable, I had all toy size dogs except for a large dog we rescued from neglect.

There was no way I could have gotten another puppy when I lost Que`bie... actually, it took a long time before I could even talk about him, hear his name, or see a Pyr without bawling.

Oh so soft and cuddly. I miss my dogs but don't think I will have another. It hurts to much to say goodbye and my DIL is alergic and I had Silkie Terriers...not supposed to bother alergies but they made her sneeze, wheeze and have red eyes. Peach doesn't bother her so the cat will have to fill the void. He does!

Yes, it hurts to loose them, but they enrich my life so much and help make me a better person.... it's worth it in my eyes.

We rescued our Pyr. from a shelter as a puppy and she is my shadow! She was underweight yet still the biggest 4 month old around. Now around 140 lbs at 17 months, she still wants to nap on my lap, not the floor. GH says he was not aware that butter CAME without fur in it , anyway. Congratulations on opening your heart again. Keep us updated as she grows!

Our pyr used to jump fences like a horse. Loved him!

I have a pry/retreiver mix - she looks just like your Quebie in the face, but has longer hair like a golden. She was a rescue at our local shelter, so I went ahead and adopted her at 6 months of age. Had 3 other dogs at the time - 2 labs and a golden retriever. Now I am down to 1 lab, golden and my pyr. She is a great watchdog - very sweet, except to strangers.
Love those big dogs!!!

What a beautiful big boy..........I know you will both love each other for a long time to come and he will fill the void in your life that was lef by the loss of Quebie...Good Luck to you both and Blessings to all.

Thank you for sharing. I had a boxer we rescued from a neighbor beating him. we had him 14 years. We had to put him down and I still cry at Thamksgiving when we did. That was 7.5 years ago. still cry.
