Puppy Evaluations - Grace

Our Own Observations:

Grace is the pick puppy for show type.

She is a typical Pyr in that she takes a while to warm up to new people but is very fond of her people when she gets confident with them.

Grace has been placed in her new home.

Grace is puppy type 'D' : These are highly submissive pups that will require plenty of praise and gentle handling to build confidence and bring them fully into the human environment.  Normally safe with children, this type usually bites only when threatened severely and then only to protect itself.
