Hi All,
I'm not new to big dogs, but I am new to Pyrs. I adopted a pyr/shepherd cross 2mnths ago and am enjoying her very much. Liesl, the dog, was approx 10wks at the time and abandoned with 2 sisters.
My question is regarding her instinct to be up high. Her first chosen place to lie was on our hearth. Of coarse furniture is also a place she'd like to be, but more recently she wants to be on the window seat, which is OK with us. Outside on walks she also gravitates to being high on rock outcrops etc. Is this typical pyr behaviour, it would make sense if guarding a flock?
