We went for a historical sightseeing tour through Frankfurt/Main (Germany). We don't take Bradley into cities too much, as we don't really have any business there, so we were very pleased with how he behaved. Okay, okay... the sniffing on every corner and chasing the pigeons was basically mandatory, but he really did a good job around people and other dogs. He just ignored them :
Thought I'd share some pics with you. Hope you like them!
Do you know much about Bradley's parents? Reason I ask, is that Bradley looks very familiar to me ... his pictures look just like Raleigh did as a pup ... REALLY just like him! Raleigh's dad was a Balnova pup and his mom was an Allenie pup ... both in the UK.
Even if they aren't related, I think still think Bradley is very handsome.
And good boy for being so well behaved in the city!
ETA: OMGoodness ... look at the lip-curl in my sig pic of Raleigh, and your sig pic of Bradley. Long lost brothers ... LOL! ;D Anyone else see a resemblance? Maybe it's just me ... :-\
My husband thinks that they probably share a common ancestry in the Saint John's Dog (imported to Englund in the early 1800's).
Bradley's family tree goes back to his grand grand parents, but I haven't traced their national origins yet. I will research a little and let you know what I find out!
Do you have the names of the parents/grand parents?

Bradley's great great grandfather is "Balnova Sultan". I about fell off the couch! WOW! There you have it. Long lost brothers. Unbelievable.
Let me know if you want to trace them down a little more. Would be great to share results and pics of all of them. PM works too if you'd prefer.
Ahhhhh Sprecken zie Deutch, ein bier und ein brautwurst bitte
Thats about as far as my German goes now days.
Great pictures and great looking Choclate Lab, I bet he gets a lot of compliments from the city folk!
Those pictures bring back a ton of memories as I used to live in Bad Kreuznach, wife was born in Frankfurt and grew up in Bingen. Would love to go back one of these days.

Oh come on, I bet you remember how to order: "Ein Schnitzel mit Pommes".
How small is this world???
We got Bradley from a breeder in Bad Kreuznach. I have been living in the Frankfurt area for most of my life and met my husband here in Germany. Bingen is right around the corner.

Wow ... that's really great! Hmmmm ... the shape of the lip must be a Balnova thing. I'll dig out Raleigh's stuff, and look for Sultan.
