Bramble

February 2nd, 2008

Meet Bramble, this lovely, tall, dark brindle Greyhound male with deep chocolate eyes is thought to be around 2 years of age. Bramble is a real softie that loves to be fussed but very undemanding of attention initially. He travels well in the car, settling down quickly. Bramble walks well on the lead; he actually prefers to walk just behind or clinging close to your left leg in built up areas, where he could do to gain more confidence.

However, in the quiet countryside he will potter along sniffing the grass verges and seems more comfortable. He does little outdoor marking and may well be house-clean or at least easily trained. He shows no great interest in most other dogs or people passing by though seems to be afraid of yappy little dogs. He needs to be kept well controlled around cats or on seeing running dogs in the distance.

Bramble seems to be a very loyal dog to his handler and concentrates his attention on them almost totally. He is believed to suffer from separation anxiety, being over-dependant on his handler. The company of a confident bitch or an owner prepared to work on building his confidence would be good for this lovely young lad, who will blossom with time and gentle handling.
