Portrait of Bruce
Bruce, whose puppy name was "Banana" because of the yellow collar, was born fourth. He was the smallest
puppy but still weighed a nice normal 16 ounces at birth and caught up with the others later. As a puppy here on the farm, he was always one
of the first to explore new toys, and one of the most people-oriented of this litter of highly people-oriented puppies.
He had a good prey drive, liked to follow and retrieve, and most of all liked to cuddle down on people's laps. We got
to keep him for an extra week as the Turnbulls had some scheduling conflicts for his pickup, so we spoiled him rotten! He went
home to Mississippi with his new owners, who plan to try out hunting with him. For the first year, he shared space with a girl golden just a month
older than Bruce named Beulah, who came from Hilfy's home kennel, Adirondac Golden Retrievers. Her mother and Hilfy are 3/4
sisters, so the two puppies are cousins. Bruce then stayed with the Turnbull's son Randolph, while Beulah went with the elder Turnbulls.

News and Picture of Bruce, 2011
|
March 2011.
Bruce is a Great dog. He is constantly with our son Randolph. He is thin but very healthy. He can run forever,is very obedient to
Randolph and has a great disposition. Wonderful dog. Living in Tunica, Ms. About the picture, Randolph shoots. Bruce doesn't really
do the hunting himself just brings things back. Bruce is very fast. He runs on the Mississippi River levee miles as a time.
Are other dogs from this line thin? I know Bruce gets plenty to eat. [Editor's note: No, none of the others are thin although some
of them could use more rib spread when you look down on them from the top. With all the running he does, he may just need more food
than you would expect for a dog his size.]
