Gender
-Male
Colour
- Brindle Solid
Lives - Boris lives in Lusaka, Zambia,
on a 10 acre farm with many children and several other
dogs.
Best Physical Features -
His best feature is his physique. He is very
proportionately muscled for his breed and he is the strongest dog in
the area - stronger than dogs many times his
size.
Best Character
Traits - In spite of his strength, Boris is
a gentle dog who loves children. He spends all his time with
children and is quite fond of the
family two-year-old, who can pull his tail and ride on
his back and he never seems to tire of
this.
Boris is a loyal companion to Timothy
Thomas, his 7-year-old owner, and follows him everywhere on
the farm. He waits at the gate and runs full speed (1/4 mile)
after the truck when Tim gets home from school each
day.
Favourite
Snack - He eats
simply everything, preferring to swallow things whole instead
of chewing. The only vegetable that he will eat is fresh
maize, but only with butter and a little salt. His
favourite food is meat
of any kind.
Favourite
Place - Boris sleeps in the hallway at the top of the
stairs so he can keep an eye on everything during the night.
He is an excellent guard dog for the family
and alerts them to any movement in the yard.
Favourite Activities
- Oddly, he really likes to swim, although this
didn't come without a lot of training. We lost a
locally-bred Standard Bull Terrier in the swimming pool three
years ago so when Boris came we knew that he had to learn to
swim and how to exit the pool. He is now comfortable in
the water, especially in the hot weather, however he really
still doesn't like to bath very much. Bathing requires
significant bribery and treats.
Achievements
- Our family is simply crazy about the breed, having
had a wonderful Standard Bull Terrier we brought with us
from our years in Russia before coming to Zambia. Boris is
typical of the breed in his courage, his strength and his
great love for children. He is an important part of our
family and he rules the farm animals with a strong hand,
something we
appreciate. Our Boris is
unique in his complete and utter devotion to Timothy
Thomas, which makes him very popular with
me! |
