The Hound of the Boswall

The weather has been of unknown with fog and sunshine, and rain in between! But we are out no matter the weather and so are the Bruff's Bark Band. So Noah the big pup got to go on a journey through the heavy fog and experience the art of getting lost in it!

Look at that big grin!

Next up we have Noah meeting a lovely girl who we've had since a pup as well, Juno - she's over a year old and he's still got more growing to do! They were instantly inseparable and knackered each other out by running, running and running!

February Catch Up!

So February is nearly ended?! The weeks just seem to fly in, least it will be Spring and Summer soon though! We've had some sun at least in the meantime, though it's still a bit chilly!

So we've had Digger come to Hotel Bruff for the day and as you can see he's made himself right at home and fast asleep with Skye.

Next we had a big adventure with the Girls, Buster and Noah!

These lot know how to be patient!

But they know how to have "fun", well at least Noah likes to move!

And then we have Cara meeting Noah for the first time and becoming best friends, whilst Rhu and Skye mope about.

So it's starting to get a bit Festive!

The adverts are on 24/7 and the movies are every day but a job isn't over yet, we've still got dogs to get out, even if the weather is horrible - which it has been, mostly!

Some sun and food helps towards a good photo!

We'll start with some fun with Beau and Vegas, who just love to run and play!

Look at their big smiles!

Next, we've got a new member, a big boy but mostly hairy, here's Undo!

And here he is out with Hilary getting up to some mischief!

We'll end with some fun in the woods with Yogi and the two Bonnies!

The Pug and the Pup!

So we've been out having fun with the new pup Noah, and he's been making a whole lot of new friends, first one being one of our pugs, Rudi!

Next he's made best friends with someone who's almost the same size as him - for now! - Digger! 

Happy Boys!

And here's them going out for a big play together and getting some tasty treats!

Guess Who?

The puppy that stayed over 2 years ago is all grown up! Yes, Scout was back for another visit to Hotel Bruff for a week and he had some fun with the Girls.

Playing fetch.

Playing in the mud.

Though like every visitor to Hotel Bruff after a good walk and play, they just take any place and fall asleep.

Next up is two blond buddies who just love to have fun and run: Bonnie and Yogi!

Finally we'll end with two who can't stop moving but always have a smile: Beau and Vegas!

Sun and Fun!

So looks like Summer decided to make an appearance this week - though not for long! - so we had some nice fun with our Band Members and some photos!

Finally we'll end with a video of Buster, Cara and Kari having some fun in the well missed sun!

A Birthday Boy!

We can't believe how fast time has passed since we were celebrating his first birthday and now we have just celebrated Rudi's second birthday and here's some photos from the day!

He's grown up and started drinking!

One can isn't enough to celebrate a birthday!

But there is one thing that all birthday boys love and that's Ice Cream!

Aside from the celebrations, we have a new member for yous to meet! Here's Sorcha, a lovely red labrador!

And here is Sorcha meeting and playing with Floyd and Frank!

And after all the fun in the sun, Floyd is absolutely knackered - look at that tongue!

Amsterdam and Dogs!

So as you all know Hilary had a little holiday to Amsterdam and we've got some photos to share from her trip!

Cheeky wee drink on the flight!

Just arrived!

Enjoying the sun and canals!

Visiting Anne Frank.

Amsterdam Night Life.

Early morning journey home.

Finally it wouldn't be a Bruff's Bark trip without our mascot making an appearance!

Eating and Sleeping.

And finally we've got a little video of some of the dogs at play. Starring Ayla, Maggie and Juno at play; and a well behaved Yogi!

Some Playing and Training!

So as you already know at Bruff's Bark we like to keep it fun and exciting so we have a few videos to show you how we do it, first up starring Poppy and her little brother Bailey!

Next up is some action from the last training session with a dab of playing on the side, starring Sammy, Pickles, Buddy and Ollie.

Bark Life!

The sun is finally starting to show it's face more and it's getting a little bit warmer so we are finally able to have more fun with the dogs! Though don't let those two above say otherwise!

So let's start off with someones new haircut and it's quite a chop!

It's Elmo!

And someone else is getting into modelling career!

Oscar really liked the hat, honest!

Next up it's our little Pugstar and he's at it again getting into a magazine this time! In this month's Your Dog, it's Rudi!

Next we had a little visitor for the day at Hotel Bruff and as you'll see you can tell she enjoyed it! 

Juno getting able to sit on the manager's knees!

Bonding with Skye!

Finally for some action with little, large and in between. Here's Juno, Baloo and Rocky out for a play together! She shows no fear in the face of these two boys!

Some New Faces!

Bruff's Bark is ever expanding by the weeks and with that we are happy to announce some new members to the Bruff's Bark Band!

So without further ado here is Bramble and Juno, these two have only just met recently and are inseparable sisters. Bramble is a 3 year old golden labrador whilst Juno is a 3 month old black labrador. Bramble has a lot to teach Juno!

We haven't forgotten about the rest of Bruff's Bark Band! So here's a few clips of them in action, starring: Red, Ayla, Maggie and Harley!

Hello 2015!

We hope everyone had a great New Year and is ready to get stuck into 2015!

We are back to normal after a restful break and with that we'll be starting our Training Classes up again on the 17th January and onwards through the year! We have new exciting equipment for all the dogs to enjoy!

With that we've got a some new technology over Christmas and we'd like to share some footage of it in action! We have a GoPro video camera and a dog harness, so we can get an exciting view from our dogs perspective - we need to do a bit more playing with it as well - so here's a little video of Skye wearing the gear!

A Surprise Visit!

Hotel Bruff had another guest this week from a well missed 'little' bulldog, Oscar! The wee man is all grown up now and is still the same funny and playful dog as he was when he first joined Bruff's Bark. So let's get into the action!

We'll start off with him meeting Maggie for the first time and what a blast they had, though Oscar still hasn't ran out of steam yet!

He goes on to pester Skye for a bit to get someone to play with him.

The result:

Then finally he decides to help out around the house, one chore he loves is opening the mail and giving a good read before deciding it's for the bin.

And after a few days of excitement when Oscar finally gets home he then decides it's sleepy time.

In other news, we mentioned it a year ago about having a celebrity dog in our ranks and he has now moved on from the newspapers to the TV!
Yes we are talking about Rudi, he was again at the Animal Blessing service at Greyfriars Kirk this year and got some screen time!

Rudi checking that they got his best side!

How time has flown!

We've been busy working hard and it's just came to our attention that we've missed how much some of our member's have grown over the past year!

Here's a short clip of Floyd of when he first came to training and how he's grown over the year! The shy little pup is now a big happy boy!

It's also time to note that it's now getting colder and wetter; where some of our member's don't mind, others hate it! So it's time to get those all important dog jackets on and today's model for them is Bonnie!

More Catch Up!

The dogs have it easy!

Yes, it's been pretty challenging but we are still here and ready to please! With some staff shuffling and lots of sweating, cycling and walking; we are still the hard working Bruff's Bark!

So we'll start off easy with some snaps of beautiful and lovable members!
We know some of them don't always see the camera but it doesn't mean we care for them any less - some are a bit camera shy! They come in small, big, young and old!

Left to Right: Midget, Floyd & Ruby, Lula, Elmo, Yogi, Harley, Laika and Bruno

Next up, we have clips of our Bruff's Bark Band members in action and working hard or taking easy as you'll see! Starring: Ruby, Floyd & Red and Lula!

Finally we'll round it off with some fun loving pugs: Frank and Rudi!

My photo!

Time for a Breather!

It's been quite hectic over the past few weeks and we have lots of things to tell and show!

We'll start off with a big thank you to Zorona and Hope who have been helping out with some of our members for the past few months, they have been great help and will be missed especially by the pugs, Winston and Rudi!

"Hey everyone!

We worked at Bruff's Bark over the past summer. We really enjoyed ourselves and loved getting to know both the staff and all the dogs. We especially miss the pugs who we regularly spent time with, Rudi and Winston. For us, it was the ideal summer job; getting to spend time outside in the sun with animals we loved. A big thanks to Hilary for taking us under her wing! We're back at university continuing our studies now but we hope to back in the future.

Lots of love,

Zorona and Hope"

Next up we've got a few new faces to let you meet!

First up, is a 4 year old boxer called Roxy! She may seem a big girl but she's gentle and loves to play!

Next up is this handsome boy, Harley, he's a 3 month Labrador/Spaniel Cross. He may be new to this world but he's a little genius and has been breezing through training.

Thirdly, we have another young one, this time it's Lula. This golden girl is small at the moment but knows how to have fun and has already made a great friendship with one of our bigger and fluffier members, Chloe!

Chloe trying to look cool for the camera.

We've had another visitor to Hotel Bruff, this time it's was Rudi for the night!

Surprise photo!

He may be a lot smaller compared to Girls but this wee man knows how to get some attention and has even ended up getting his own selfie!

With a bit of help!

We are getting there! We couldn't leave without a few videos of members in action!

So here's Winston, Frank, Floyd, Harley, Maggie, Midget, Sammy and Red!

And last but not least, we have some photos of Band Members showing off their good side!

Cheeky little Kari and happy face Ruby

Skye - model material!

A Little Catch Up!

Apologises for the lack of posts recent of our Band Members in action, it's been pretty busy with new members joining and the end of the holidays meaning we are back to full steam!

We'll start with the recent exclusive Pug Club meet up in which both Rudi and Frank were apart of! So here is a little men both looking pretty good if we do say ourselves!

Next up we have an update on Elmo, he's recently had a bit of surgery but he's still happy and going strong even though he's become quite a lazy boy and will happily sleep than go for a walk.

Yawn!

Next up another little collage of some our members enjoying themselves!

Left to Right: Oscar, Chloe, Yogi and Kelly

Finally we've got a new face for you all to meet, he's a small older boy who's new to the area but is full of joy and energy, so without further ado here's Sammy! 

Happy!

And here he is in action with Hilary!
