Bruno

Bruno has a curly minimium shedding coat ,all dogs shed some amount
Not overly keen at being groomed at home,but will allow you to continue if you have some treats at hand
Bruno is professionally groomed every 6 weeks,no issues at his groomers

Bruno is a fun loving ,big gentle goofball,sometimes he doesnt know how big he is,a right cuddle monster,loves people sometimes a bit too much ,does not have an aggresive bone in his body.
Everyone that meets Bruno falls in love with him
He is very well socialised and a well balanced dog ,just sometimes gets excited
Bruno is toilet trained ,but as we state on all adverts accidents may occur whilst a dog settles into the home
He is crate trained ,happy to go into his crate as and when required
At night Bruno sleeps where he feels is comfortable in his home
He can be left a few hours per day,if out more than a few hours ,he happily goes into his crate
Doodle Aid will not accept anyone who will leave a dog more than 4 hours per day ,dogs are social creatures and need company
Bruno is non destructive in his home
Never has swam, but does like to paddle in steams
Travels well in the car in the boot
Favourite game tug of war with his toy
Bruno is fine with noises and fireworks.Does like to steal the odd socks,so please make sure they are put away.Never counter surfed or stolen any food off the table.Bruno gets very excited if going to cafe's or public houses ,might need some gentle training
If you live in rented accommadation, we will require documentation that a dog can live in this property
The potential home will be fully vetted ,with a complete visual homecheck carried out by a Trustee
We really want to give Bruno a great life as he so deserves the best,he is such a great lad

Bruno has been diagnosed with MILD Bilateral Hip Dysplasia,this is a condition where both hip joints develop abnormally,causing joint laxity,sometimes pain ,and in later life may cause arthritis.
It does not effect his daily life ,not on any medication only a supplement of Yumove
Management will play a vital role in Bruno's life,weight control,a good diet ,a lean weight is crucial to reducing joint stress
No high impact exercise ,try to limit jumping on and off beds & sofa's or jumping high into car boots
Stairgate is advisable if sleeping upstairs ,only allow limited access
No ball games as he could twist whilst fetching
Avoid rough play with other dog,gentle supervised play only
Opt for shorter,gentle more frequent walks ,grass or sand is much kinder for a dog with HD
If you live in a home that has laminate,wooden or tiled floors we request runners are put in place (happy to supply these).

Also his owners believe chicken should be avoided in his diet,as may cause an allergy
