Here's an Off breed for IPO - a PyrShep!

Just had to post this after the discussion about off breeds training for IPO. How cute is this dog?!

Omg so cute! Those dogs are growing on me! Are they a naturally barky breed? (I'm not considering one, just admiring)

Very very much a naturally barky breed. Not that they seem to be non-stop barker or that they are recreational barkers but part of their job was to alert to things out of the ordinary. And they can definitely be dogs who bark from excitement. Savvy isn't bad unless he's alerting to something (which he did a lot as a puppy but now it's mostly normal stuff)...or really excited. On the plus side, they don't scream LOL

How awesome. What a neat dog.
