Eleven Belgian Malinois puppies took their very first journey outside the house in the most Bristol way possible – by visiting established music venue The Fleece

According to The Fleece’s facebook page, the pack toured the facility on Wednesday afternoon and found it quite satisfactory.

The puppies had a thoroughly enjoyable first trip out of the house.

 

 

The dogs were visiting from Avonwolf Malinois, a kennel run by the Fleece’s owner Chris Sharp and his partner, Ursi.
