I took Hooch out on Saturday (9th) for a walk on shoreham by sea beach. Mum joined us with Bizzy. Hooch was great in the boot with Bizzy in the front. Very keen to get going after the hour car journey, he joined me in the ladies before we started the walk and dutifully checked the toilet bowl was safe for me first
Hooch was great mooching along, alittle strong but no sillyness. I know Hooch is good with dogs and wasn’t bothered by Bizzy other than to try and mount him a few times or three.
We all had a lovely 2 hour walk which involved some splashing in the sea, I used to think Hooch wasn’t keen on water but maybe the sea doesn’t count.
He had a good snooze on the way home, staying in the boot with Bizzy on the back seat keeping an eye on my driving.
Once returned Hooch took his horn ( a gift from me) into bed and later that day I got a nice pic front Jemma of Hooch snoozing, must have been all the sea air.
I’ll try to upload the pics I have very soon!
Hooch was great and I’ll definitely take him out again soon!

I nipped over to the kennels after work yesterday and took Hooch out.
He seemed quite surprised to be going out as was already settled in his bed. He is a little pickle getting his harness on, jumping about but I managed it and he's so good getting out of the kennels as he's friendly but not interested in speaking with other dogs.
Initially Hooch leapt about once we're out with the excitement of being out and grabs the leads but with a firm voice and a few steps he calmed down. Hooch appears to be kennel trained as will always toilet as soon as we're out.
He loves his scents!!! He'll zigzag about for smells and he quite likes a squirrel or deer!
As I've said Hooch is fine when out with other dogs so I'm never fazed when we meet other walkers, he's very quite never barks, can pull on the lead but if told to 'walk properly' he'll walk like a gent!
I love this dog! He's doing so well with some regular walking and his silly moments are so few they've become the exception and I find it's a lot quicker to calm him back down than once before (4-5 seconds).
I would love to see more people getting to know this little chap so that he can continue with his good behaviour and of course get more cuddles!
