As Pippin's breeder, I saw him from birth until Chelle picked him up at, what Chelle, 5 months? He tried to be aloof. And then all of a sudden it was like lightening struck. "I dont want to be aloof, I want to be a lover"...lol The change was Pippin's decision, and it was overnight. That temperament is what I breed for. Puppy buyers like Chelle are what I look for with all my pups. It makes my day to see him so happy and contented.

Yup, he was 5 months Jackie...I will never forget him trying to get his huge puppy body is Randy's lap as he drove out the interstate...l
ol!...We should have known then...he-he!...& the first night we were home Pippin bloodied my nose as I lay on the floor next to him because he wasn't done being petted...Samso
n had never given us the "dirty devil dog paw"
so I wasn't expecting that!...Samson has since learned to give "Pyr Paw" & I've learned to protect my face...lol!...Pippin takes a special interest in my nephew, Logan who is the boy in these pictures...It is really sweet the way they interact.
BlackGreatF, Aloof is kind of standoffish & independent...
If the word was applied to a human it would probably come across as snobby....lol!...Seriously though, Pyrs can be like cats...They might like you but they don't seem to think they need you...Sam is more like that...Pippin, well, you see the pics I post...lol!...I could say I lucked out with him but I really think alot of it is in the breeding!
