Patewood Pyrs

18/05/2025

Alabama peeps…. Who can help??!!

Pyrs are being killed at a high rate in shelters throughout Alabama. Once a Pyr finds itself in a shelter there they don't get much time at all before being euthanized. Alabama is one State where we are buried with desperate requests to save Pyrs but we have almost no help there!

We are in dire need of volunteers to help us save Pyrs in Alabama......we need short term foster homes, long term foster homes and transportation help. We can't save them if we don't have the volunteers to help us.

Just today we found out about another four Pyrs on a shelters euthanasia list and we don't have the volunteers to save them. It's really heartbreaking!

If you have good solid fencing, your current dogs are spayed/neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations and you want to make a big difference in an Alabama's Pyr's life then go here to fill out an application now https://nationalpyr.org/fostering/

I am very late in posting this but…Another amazing weekend for Patewood and Cherlyn Pyrs!! We had a blast in Freehold. We kicked off the weekend by bringing CH Patewood’s Marcus Aurelius back into the ring after 7 months off on Thursday. My boy did me proud in the ring and brought home Best of Breed under the lovely judge Lee Whittier. Thank you Union County kennel club! Marcus got to spend the rest of the weekend at home, resting on his laurels and turning it all over to his offspring 🤣.
Friday I didn’t go but Marcus’s son CH Cherlyns Lucky Charm (Riley) did and HE brought home Best of Breed. Congrats Patricia and Bill Stephen’s.
Saturday at Union Kennel Club, Marcus’s son, Cherlyns Griffin of Patewood took Winners Dog and Best of Winners to add points towards his champion title, way to go Wick Mott and Monique Grimm. Marcus’s daughter Cherlyn N Patewoods Platinum Passion (Goldie) brought home Winners Bitch. Karen Justin’s incomparable Dino took Best of Breed and Nancy Himmelblau’s beautiful Tasha took Best of Opposite. Thank you judge Gerard Bernard. We finished our weekend on Sunday at the Plainfield Kennel
Club with Goldie taking Winners Bitch and Best of Winners to add to her points tally. While … amazingly… our 13 month old puppy Cherlyn N Patewoods SamIAm (Cherlyns Viola x Patewoods Axil Jaxx) in his 5th show ever took home Winners Dog for his first points ever! A huge shout out to Marcella who handled him in her fifth show ever too! What a fabulous job you did!!!! A huge thank you to judge Zhida Duan. He is a pleasure to show for… gracious, gentle, clear and professional. Best of Breed went to Karen Justin’s Dino (by the way… check Dino out next time you get a chance…he is a veteran…. All I can say is every dog should look so incredible!!!) Best of Opposites went to Nancy’s Tasha with MaryAnn Sama’s boy Rody going Select Dog and her girl Perle going Select Bitch! Congrats to all! It is a pleasure to show with such quality dogs and such nice dog owners.

Hey all you Pyr lovers. Here’s an educational flyer that helps explain color. It doesn’t get into the science behind why pure black as marks or primary body color is impossible…but I can get you that if you want it! Love that the GPCA is stepping forward with solid, easy to understand information about the breed we do love! ❤️
