Haughty not Naughty

Bennie the Labrador x Mastiff or Mastiff x Labrador (Dad was a Lab) or, as Brynn advises me, he is a real “Mommy’s Boy”

Here is his annual report card for 2014. He is a tad over 18 and should be approaching adulthood now, one might expect. That’s in dog years – a huge puppy at 2 years and 6 months on our calendar.

Physically, he is a fine specimen; almost a fully-grown adult, with strong muscular limbs, sharp eyes and ears and a deep bark. Development Grading : “A”

He responds to his special whistle call without delay or hesitation. Obedience Grading: “A”

If over-exited in play with the children, he is inclined to piddle accidental little spots. Bladder Control Grading: “C”

His integration and abilities to interact with humans, strangers and children of all ages . Socialisation Grading: “A”

He is quite comfortable when dealing with cats. Well, with one cat, at least. One small problem is that he insists of smelling the cat’s you-know-what as it walks past. Animal integration Grading: “B” (unfortunately, he loses one grade for disgustingness)

Overall opinion of others: Perhaps a bit haughty, but certainly not naughty. Except if you count the odd occasion when he chews up an abandoned sandal.
