The Pyrs 

At Awesome Acres 'Pacas and Pyrs our goal is to breed a superior line of Working Show Dogs that can protect your valued livestock and still bring home the Best of Breed. These pictures show Sophie, our working Mom, and Sumo and Sassy, our show dogs. The plan is working, and we'd love to talk to you about it.
