Invisible fencing will not keep a Pyr on its property, or keep out strange dogs or other animals. Pyrs consider strange canines (and humans) to be predators and will act accordingly.
			*Like most livestock guardian and dominant breeds, Great Pyrenees usually don't get along with dogs of the same sex as adults. It's the rule rather than the exception, and we have seen many returns as a result. It may not happen immediately, but when the issue occurs, there's no "pause button" when two pyrs of the same sex are fighting. If it happens, be prepared by reading this page: http://sonic.net/~cdlcruz/GPCC/library/dogfight.htm.
			*A Pyr off-leash, outside of a fenced area, is called "dis-a-Pyr" and will rarely turn around and come home after visiting around your neighborhood.
			*Pyrs drool, some more than others, males usually more than females. If you can't tolerate drool, don't get a Pyr.
			*Pyrs dig deep craters in your yard to keep cool, even in expensive landscaping.
			*Pyrs bark as part of their guarding routine, and many have been surrendered to rescue as a result of noise complaints that have prompted legal action. Females can be a bit more vocal, but all Pyrs bark as part of their natural behavior. Barking is their first line of defense against predators.
			*Pyrs are nocturnal and will still be on guard (and barking) at night, just as they would be as flock guards." ([http://www.nationalpyr.org/know-the-breed source])
