There is a PWD owner/breeder on this newsgroup, hopefully she will give you
some information. I am not an owner but I am fond of the breed and have met
many of them. They are a VERY high energy working breed and need signifigant
exercise and training. They have higher grooming needs than most breeds -
coat comes in several types but all of it needs regular grooming. They can
have dietary issues. IMHO definitely a breed that needs an experienced,
educated and committed owner - this is not a breed that can do well as a
"yard dog" (though I don't think ANY dog does well as the latter.)
What interests you about the breed? Have you met any in person?
