Yvanovich now Bear

 Friday 2 July 2021  

Hello all,

Yvanovich has been called Bear since his arrival and luckily he listened to his new name almost immediately. Now a year later, he knows a little bit about the routing here in the household. You could soon notice that some training had been done with him before. He is very boss oriented and learns quickly. 3 years ago we also adopted Sir Francis Drake (now Bootz) with you, so it was a question of how that would go. Very occasionally, war breaks out between the two and they also become very mean to each other. And we still don't know what that is. 

The last 3 to 4 months Bear has also been raging with other dogs when he is walked. Sometimes he looks like a pit bull on a leash 😉 If we see in advance that other dogs are coming, we already correct him and then it goes pretty well. If you don't say anything, he literally stands on his hind legs on a leash and just barks, growls and acts crazy. He has also turned out to be a great wrecker (already 5 pillows have fallen, including his own therapeutic pillow) and towels and tea towels are not safe here either. Occasionally that is really puppy behaviour but he also knows very well that it is not allowed. He's turned out to be one of those with a bit of a manual, but so far the little mister learns quickly, is crazy with everyone who comes by but first lets them know and hear that he lives here - so very vigilant. We happened to go to a vet this week because the nails of both grow so fast! They were also both too heavy 😇🤪 and so have been getting a special kibble for a while. They are doing well, both Bear and Bootz!
