Free training session includedBruin is loving, calm, and affectionate. Excellent house manners and very routine-oriented. Has been in a quiet, structured home last 3 yrs. High levels of obedience training/known commands. Best qualities: Gentle with his family; goofy personality; cuddly and affectionate [giant lap dog]; bonds deeply and is extremely loyal. Behavioral Considerations Leash reactive toward other dogs; needs distance and structured handling. Can be unpredictable around children. Disclosure: Bruin has had three incidents of aggression toward children where he made a clear boundary without biting, showing restraint and no intent to injure. The most recent incident (Nov. 2025) involved an adult who interfered with him while he was eating a high-value food; again, he set a boundary and showed bite restraint. For these reasons, Bruin requires an adult-only, child-free home with experienced handling. Why We Are Seeking Placement 1st child due this summer; we do not trust Bruin's behavior around infants/small children. Proactively seeking placement for risk mitigation & set him up for success.
