With it being holiday season and several of Royce's regular walkers being on their hols I have taken the opportunity to spend some time with this cracking dog. Royce is initially wary or people but once he knows you and you've been welcomed into his gang he is the soppiest cuddle monster you'll ever meet. I am never allowed to get him ready for his walk until we have had a good few minutes of belly rubs and kisses. After that it is harness and muzzle on and off we go. Royce wears his muzzle very well and because he is nervous of strangers and dogs it is a necessary precaution to ensure there are no mishaps whilst out and about. Royce generally is happy happy to go for a good old walk which is always nice an leisurely, no pulling he just ambles along taking in the smells as he goes. Occasionally he is not in the mood though and will clearly direct straight to the path for the paddock which means, yep more cuddles with Royce

. In the paddock he will have a nice mooch about, occasionally getting animated if a dog passes by a little too close for Royce's liking and then he heads back over for more cuddles and belly rubs whilst he gives you his best soppy eyes and little kisses to show his appreciation.
Royce will need confident, experienced oweners who are willing to be patient with him and slowly help him to realise that people and dogs are not so scary really. In return though, once given time to settle and bond you will get one of the soppiest, most loyal dogs I've met. If you feel you could give Royce what he needs please consider putting in that application as he really would love a sofa to call his own again
