I picked my puppy up in July of 2006 he is know 4 months old. My experience dealing with Tim was a great one. Enough about Tim cause I want to tell you about my dog Rebel. He is so loving and very easy to train. I have 3 children and he fits right in with them. He is a very good protector, sometimes we take walks through the woods and just let him off his leash. If one of the kids stop to tie their shoe or something like that Rebel will sit there until they are through and make sure they catch back up. Hopefully the day will never come where my children need to be protected but if it does I have complete confidince in Rebel doing his job. We love having this dog in our family so much we will be picking up a female Pyr from Tim in 2 months. These are beautiful dogs and they come from great breeders.
