Hi Lynne, Poncho is an American Bulldog He's 3 years old Everything done. He loves people and will walk out with quiet dogs but apparently he does not like other dogs generally. He is booked in to be put to sleep 1st Feb. I have tried all Rescues no one is prepared to help him. Carolyn x

Poncho is really rather WOW
After his photo shoot Poncho went for a walk, him with me and Debbie walking her gorgeous AmBull girl Rosie, they had a lovely time and Poncho did very well walking parallel, we left a nice gap between them being the first time, lovely walk

Re: Poncho AmBull DofB 2014 Gatwick Kenns
I've had my eye on walking Poncho since he first arrived and today was my chance. He greets you like an old friend in his kennel, just loving that you are paying him attention. He was easy to harness then we were off and away. He was quite strong on the lead to start with but settled after a while unless he saw something in the bushes that needed investigating. We had a quick stop in the paddock so that I could get to know him, he has no sense of personal space so I very quickly had his paws round my neck and a very muddy kiss and face wash, gorgeous boy! You can't walk Poncho without smiling, just something about this boy makes the day better, come on people, form a line and get those homing forms in

Poncho walking with Rosie - Rosie is a very calm girl who understands doggie etiquette - she gave Poncho space to relax and Poncho followed her lead

Sarah.
It was my first walk with Poncho this afternoon. Such a friendly boy and easy to walk. We went into the paddock first as it was free. Poncho had great fun running around and enjoyed a good roll. His lovely white coat became a mud colour as the paddock was somewhat muddy now that the snow has melted. He loved lots of fuss and pawed my arm when I stopped stroking him. We headed off out on our walk, firstly going through the woods where Poncho enjoyed a good sniff. Poncho walks well on a lead, pulling slightly when he spotted another dog in the distance. Easily distracted and very responsive to his walker. Super boy. Love him xx

I've walked Poncho regularly over the last few weeks I enjoy his company. He's very friendly and bouncy on greeting but easy to harness and walks well with an occasional pull easily settled when checked . A lovely lad.
