Bruce

Bridport and Lyme Regis News:

Breed: Crossbreed

Age: 1 year

Bruce is an exuberant, striking boy with a similar figure to a Pointer.

He has lots of energy, so his new home will need to be physically active as well as able to keep him mentally occupied during the day too.

Bruce would benefit from training classes as he is still very much a big puppy.

He can get quite anxious on his own so I cannot be left for very long and new owners would need to have the time to help him overcome his worries about being left.

A friendly, playful boy he would be happy to live with a female dog and teenagers, but unfortunately cannot live with cats.
