I think this has gotten way off base here,She didnt growl, or attempt to bite the mother, she got up and barked...I find that completley normal in any dog.And if a Pyr DOESNT bark at a stranger I would fine THAT odd.

Greatpyr, I know your are h*ll bent on thinking a pyr is 100% different from every other breed in that they HAVE to guard ALL the time and do what they HAVE to do but I just completely disagree. If the dog (ANY breed) is in your home, under your roof and trained by you, you should be able to tell them when someone is allowed in your home.
Now that I know pyr4me didn't introduce her to Jenny, it makes sense that she was a little on guard. BUT if she walked right in with everyone, that should have also been a sign that hmmm she might be new but she's with mom (pyr4me) so I'll follow her lead. I definitely think at that point Jenny's mom should have introduced her mother to Jenny to really settle any kind of worry Jenny might have had but that didn't happen this time.
Pyr4me, I am sure with a little guidance, Jenny will be great with your mom and anyone else that you welcome into your home!
Not H%ll bent on anything other then read up on your pyrs then,they are different then most breeds,they have an ancient Guarding instinct bred into them.Besdies the pyr thing,Jeny barking at mom at the door is not unusual at all in a dog period...I said if she had growled or tried to snap then theres a problem,but to bark and let her know someones just entered the house is being a plan good watch/guard dog or whatever you would like to call it.I would not expect any different especially from a PYR.

I had a dobie that was shown and well well socialized and I had to put him out when company came that he had never seen before,he was at home and it was his job to guard everything.
Bear will greet,bark,sit and watch everyone that comes into the house,I do not correct him,its his job..if he was trying to snap,bite..etc that would be different.

Personally I would not discourage this behaviour,even if you could,may not be able to...as long as she is ok when you want her to be or tell her to be.
Go Jenny!
