Dante and I have spent our first full day together and it has been wonderful. He is just SO good - I keep wondering when the "be a good boy" spell will wear off.
I took him out for a walk on the lead to see if he would walk on it and he was brilliant.
If a stranger is approaching him, he will stop and stare at them to see if he knows them. If he doesn't know them, he moves from my left side to the right side and keeps on walking and then checks to see if they are following us.
Brabancons are, by nature, very standoffish with people at first. Ther best they will allow a person they don't know to do is to pat their head. As they get to know people, they will hold out their paw to shake hands with them.
He has only had a small nap at lunchtime today so he should be ready for a full night's sleep tonight.
He is a very tactile dog - as was Remy - so he does do some things just like she did.
When it comes to stairs or steps, he is hesitant going down, but he flies up them with no problems.
We are heading off to bed shortly so I will let you know how that went, tomorrow morning.
Dante sends love and Brabancon kisses to all. Talk to you all tomorrow.
