Brus

Big Brus and Tammy are living in a lovely new house with a big garden outside and two cats inside!
Happy with their new mom and dad, shy Tammy has come out of her shell and leaps in and out of the car, and Brus is very busy making sure everyone knows when it's time to feed him!

Brus and Tammy finally went to their permanent home together here in Ireland, to live with Jan and Gary and two cats. 
A lovely pair, Brus and Tammy's strengths and weaknesses perfectly complement each other, and they will make perfect companions. 

Brus is 5 yrs YOUNG and full of life and charm.  He is a very large greyhound with a smashing personality who loves everyone.  He gets along extremely well with other dogs, though he definitely plays hard and is definitely not for the fainthearted!  He is very good on the leash, in the car, in the house, and is doing very well learning to be off leash in open fields.  He appears to be fairly cat-friendly, and this is being pursued as well. 

With a gorgeous thick velvet coat, he would be best with people who are experienced with large dogs,  as his 90 pounds of exuberance needs to be reminded of the primary rule for big dogs: it's ok to be big, but you must be gentle!  Brus is simply a king among greyhounds.
