It's a Pug's Life!

We have another Pug - or as we have recently learned they are known as the Dutch Mastiff! - and he's a little young pup of 4 months!

Meet Frank!

This little man isn't afraid of anything or anyone and has happily made himself apart of the bigger dogs of the Bruff's Bark Band! We now have 5 Pugs - Winston, Rudi, Bertie, Basie and Frank - each with a different personality but full of energy and joy!

Pugs have been well known throughout history, the breed originating for China but becoming a well sought after dog by royalty in Europe in the 16th Century onwards.


Enough Pug business - for now - we have had some more sleepovers recently, starting with Cara, who is with Rhu and Skye at the moment. So she has been meeting some new doggy friends whilst on her little holiday from home.

So here is her new pals: Hugo, Maggie, Midget and Sophie.

And after some playing -  like rest of the dogs who stay over - Cara is ready for a good nap! 

Zzzzzzz....

But with all of the dogs in Bruff's Bark, we do love them and sometimes they show us affection back.

Kisses!

And finally here's another stay over, this time it's Oscar, who join Thumper for the night!

Hello!

This is my bed right?

 And sometimes even the dogs have one of those mornings where they don't want to wake up!

This is Playtime!

The Bruff's Bark Band members are a very excitable bunch and can play rough but as you'll see it's all safe. We wouldn't let anything spoil a good run around with friends.

We've got a few clips together, starting with Bertie and Sophie - she's really coming out and enjoying every moment of it!
Then we have the Big Sisters: Tia and Rizzo joined by Midget and Maggie, showing size and age doesn't matter.
Finally, it's boy vs. girl, Bertie and Maggie, it's a test of endurance but full of joy!

We make sure that when our dogs play that they are safe and it's never let out of control. Playing should be a big part of a dog's life as it provides socialisation and exercise so we try to make sure all our dogs have a good time as much as possible - and here's the results!

Happiness!

Though a whole week of it can be a bit too much!

Don't want to get out of bed, mum.

Looks like Spring is Here!

Finally the weather is improving and everything is warming up!
Some of the Band Members are even enjoying the pretty flowers!

Maggie, Ruby, Rizzo and Skye

Ruby is still enjoying her time with Rhu and Skye, though her time with them is nearly up! She's getting into the Girls routine, though it's sometimes proving a bit much!

She didn't even make through the door!

Though she has made herself right at home here and we doubt she's going to leave easily...

Someone is in Skye's Bed

Also we'd like to show you member who's been making giant leaps in the training, here's....

Sophie!
Look at that smile!

So here is her in one of our recent training sessions, showing us how its done.

Puppy Training!

We've got a few videos to show you all of our most recent training session, and you get to see some of the new Bruff's Bark Band members in action!

We'll start with two new faces, Sophie and Midget! These two have both just started recently but are already showing off their skills.

Next up, we have a good round up of little dogs, here's Poppy - Jug -, Poppy - Miniature Poodle -, Elle and Maggie!

This lot have been before and are showing off a bit!

Finally, we have a little clip of what happens when boys will be boys after having fun and training, here's Baloo and Otto!
