He's a lovely dog Bob. I am not a 'dog person' but this hound has a real personality and it would be nigh on impossible to live in the same house and not love him.

He's very mischievous and will make a dive into any open purses that might be around, but only if the owner is close by - he likes to play. I think I've just about cured him of making off with my yarn when I'm crocheting and not giving him the attention he reckons he deserves.

On dogs taking after their owners - he is a charming character with a big streak of mischief - very much like the Cap'n.
