Easily pleased and so friendly, Bentley taps his feet when excited and will never turn down a cuddle.Very quick on his greying paws, Bentley loves being active and certainly doesn’t act his age. He still has the Boxer power to take you for a walk, ensuring you are kept fit and does love off lead time within a secure hired out field. Obviously we know his age even if Bentley doesn’t, so we would advise any running around to be monitored as he does wear himself out. Comfortable within his own bubble, we don’t think it will take Bentley long to settle back into home life.
