'CreamofBritish Marble Bear' 16/10/11

Hi Debbie,
  Just to let you know we have called our puppy Bruno. He is such a clever boy, he
has already learned "fetch", though we still have to work on "drop". Steven and Geraldine
came yesterday morning to collect their little one, Freckle Bear. We found it very hard to
choose between them, they are both lovely boys. In the end we thought Freckle Bear would
get on better with the children, and in fact when they arrived they made a big fuss of him, and
he didn't mind a bit. Bruno was happy to be patted and stroked, but kept out of the way when
they wanted to lift him up.
 
We had no problems with him last night, much to our amazement. As the first night on his
own we thought it would be difficult. He went to bed with his bunny and a hot water bottle
wrapped in a soft blanket, complained a bit for five minutes and then went to sleep. He
woke up about 10.30 and we took him out for "hurry ups" and he went straight back to bed.
He didn't wake up again until 7.30. He has been really good with his toilet, and we have only
had a couple of little puddles where we havn't taken him out in time. He is going in and out
of the conservatory all by himself when he needs to go, but we always make sure to praise him.
 
He has met our two cats, who keep a close eye on him, but having been told "no" once when he wanted to chase them, he seems to be leaving them alone. Suzette keeps out of his way by going up a tree or sittingon the barbeque, and Phoebe, who is a bit older gave him a bit of a hiss. They are both very curious about him though, and are creeping closer and closer to have a look. He has also met some of our French neighbour, two girls of 10 and a boy of 13, Grandma and Dad who provides our firewood. They came round when we still had the two, and Freckle Bear went right up to their big dog, nose to nose, with no hesitation. Bruno held back on that one!
 
Thank you once again for letting us have one of your wonderful pups. He has had such a good start in life. Having read most of the puppy training book you gave us, we realise how easy it would be to make a mistake in buying a dog without realising it. He has had every possible benefit from your breeding and care. We are sure he is going to make a lovely addition to our family.
