My name is Buddy and I am a gentle giant. I absolutely LOVE people and LOVE playing with my toys. I can't get enough of either.
I think a family that has a doggie friend (preferably younger dog) that would play with me would be ideal. My foster sister who is 11 does not like to play and as much as I annoy her, I have never retaliated or reacted to her growls and bouts of crankiness
I have a very"big boy" bark that I use when other doggies are near the fence or visitors arrive. So if you're looking for a guard dog, my bark will certainly deter intruders.
My favourite time in the afternoon/evening is playing with my foster Mum and Dad. Tug of War or fetch. Or just zoomies with my stuffed toys by myself is just as much fun.
I also think I'm a lap dog and love to cuddle on the lounge and watch TV. Belly rubs are great too
Overall, I have the most beautiful nature. I'm easy going and adaptable. Even having a cone on my head never deterred me from enjoying life's little pleasures!
I am aware even if I have done something wrong. Sometimes I'll even talk back. (That always makes Mum laugh)
I am curious and will follow you around and check what you are doing hoping I can help. I have to be involved in everything
I know how to sit and wait for my food but am a growing boy so eating is an Olympic event for me and a slow feeding bowl or mat is recommended. Also happy to clean other doggies or cats bowls. "Buddy's cleaning services".
My foster Mum says I am super smart and will have no problem learning. She will take me to school once school resumes after Show Day .
So if you're looking for an affectionate, loyal and fun loving companion that is eager to please - then I am your boy
