Like Twist mentioned, he is great on the lead and loves everyone! Thanks again guys for a job well done!
He didn’t really like getting into the car at first but now happily jumps in as he knows he’s off somewhere fun! 
We had him off the lead a few times and his recall is very good. He is really easy to have around the house and doesn’t mind getting into his crate and is going all night without a peep. He is pretty much house trained at this stage and has never chewed the furniture! (*phew!)
Regards barking he doesn’t do it excessivly but he is a vocal dog. He wines (very softly) out of happiness when you cuddle and hug him and when he is playing, it’s very cute. When he does bark, it’s still a puppy bark, just a little yap!
This is my first experience of a Samoyed so I’m not sure of their sutiablility for a 5 year old but my 4 year old niece absolutely adores Bruce and she has walked him on the lead several times and he never pulls her! He is a very gentle dog around adults and children & other dogs so if that is anything to go by I’d say he would fit right in to any household!
He absolutely LOVES the water, any kind in fact, even the water in his bowl, he will often put his paws in his bowl to cool down and loves the sea! He is not afraid of anything and is very patient and gentle even when the hairdryer is on him and sometimes licks the air! If he does something bold you almost only have to look at him and he understands! He can already sit, give the paw and lie down and he is a very intelligent dog!
Bruce is a total little angel!
