Bruce is a 4 year old chocolate Labrador x. He is medium in size. He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and wormed. He is great with people, children and other dogs. He would be best suited to children aged 8 years+ as he could knock a small child over. He is a high energy dog and loves to go for long walks and runs. His recall is perfect, but Bruce would benefit from some more lead training. He is good with small furries and could possibly be good with cats if introduced properly. Bruce is fully housetrained.
Bruce is coming to stay with us on Sunday! We are looking forward to some long rambles and to see if he passes the "cat test". More update and perhaps some photos on Sunday.
What a smile!
Is that a ball at my feet??
As you can see Bruce is a handsome fellow and he is very nice as well. We spent the day playing ball, taking a long walk, playing in the park and meeting some of the neighbors. Everyone loves Bruce’s eyes – they are a lovely color. He is friendly and boisterous but well behaved. He even drops the ball at your feet!
The jury is still out on the cat. He saw the cat and gave chase but I will see if I can get them together without the drama.Bruce went off the lead at St Annes Park today and had a great time. he loves running along but never gets too far ahead and always stays in some sort of contact. he does not run up to other dogs and is not aggressive at all. He doesnt know me that well yet but always comes back when he is called.
I have been working with him on living with a cat. He is really interested in the cat but I have to chaperone them. This morning the cat was sitting on the counter and he was on the floor and their noses touched and I was about to grab the camera but then the cat took a swipe and we were back to square one. Baby steps here but I think he is going to figure it out. Of course the cat is not blameless here either.
Bruce and Max are a perfect match. Bruce does tend to crowd my older dog Adam. Adam has his special place under the table and Bruce likes to get under there as well which annoys the heck out of Adam. I wonder if Bruce had his own table in his previous life…NEWSFLASH – Today Bruce twice walked past the cat without a second glance – once in the kitchen and once out on the street. Ribery the cat arched his back and was acting like a drama queen but Bruce just ignored him. GO BRUCE – what a chap! I’d say he can join a family that has a cat/dog without any problems.
Bruce enjoys the parks but he LOVES the beach. He has been twice and just loves running in the shallow water and through the sand. He is such a fun loving dog.
I havent been able to post more photos of this lovely boy because I cant charge my battery. He still glistens in the sunshine and even looks handsome in the rain. The good news is that Bruce met a wonderful family who are eager to adopt him Bruce will have his own teenagers to play fetch with now. I am so happy for them all.
Ah Liv……delighted to hear that news …..he is such a friendly dog…glad I got to meet him in real life fur at the grand canal theatre……here’s to a happy forever home Bruce!
Delighted for Bruce! Disappointed for myself as I was really keen on him! I’m sure he’ll be very happy in his new home though. Good luck Bruce!
