Beaker

Beaker is an impressively laid-back young man who seems far wiser than his age would suggest. If you met him without knowing better, you would swear he had already mastered the art of taking life as it comes and not getting worked up about much at all.

A true gentle giant, Beaker moves through life at his own cruisey pace, quietly taking everything in. Whether it is a busier, more bustling environment or a peaceful stroll through a calm neighbourhood, Beaker is happy to roll with it. Not much seems to faze him, and he has a wonderfully steady presence that makes him very easy to be around.

Beaker could happily live with another dog or be your one and only. He is more than content to coexist with other dogs in the home, doing his own thing without fuss, but would be just as happy soaking up life as the sole focus of your affection.

Because Beaker is so chilled-out, not particularly food-driven, and not overly bouncy, a home with young children could be a possibility for him. That said, while he is a very gentle boy, he is not the biggest cuddler at this stage. This may well change as he grows older and settles in, but for now he is more of a quiet companion than a clingy one. He is also on the taller side, so that should be kept in mind with little ones around.

If you are looking for a calm, easy-going companion with an old soul, a gentle nature and a talent for making life feel just that little bit more relaxed, Beaker could be your perfect match.
