Bruce, 8 months
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. 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 has a good prey drive, likes to follow and retrieve, and most of all likes 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 has now gone home to Mississippi with his new owners, who plan to try out hunting with him. They also have 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.
