My Pyr Zoey, is small- she was the runt of the litter and she is small as far as height. I got her spayed and now she is short and round, just like her mom. However don't let size fool you with a Pyr. Zoey can go from precious fluff ball princess puppy to the most ferocious dog I have ever had, in seconds, if she is challenged. She has a good temperment and doesnt just snap easily- but when she does, she means business. I use to worry about her and the coyotes- now my concern is more for the unfortunate coyote than her.
