Buddy

Profile

9/20/05: I would like to introduce Buddy. Buddy was surrendered to a Humane Society in Iowa because his owners just didn't want a dog anymore. He is 11 months old. He is a very smart, loving, wanting to please kinda guy. I really can't say enough goods things about this guy.

He LOVES to be with people and rubs on you like a cat would! He follows commands so well, a simple sit and that butt is planted on the floor! Anyone interested in an excellent obedience dog prospect? We have been working with him in obedience and he is excelling! He is very agile, but totally respects the 2' baby gate I have.

He loves other dogs and cats and everyone he meets. When he first came, he did a bit of mouthing, but has since learned that mouthing is not allowed. A simple no or ah ah and he quits. When he first came he did a little guarding of rawhides, but with some simple training, he nows gives them to me in exchange for loving. He wants so much to behave! He jumps up a little and we continue working with that. He would probaly be better in a house with older children, for the only reason being he might knock over little children with his bouncing! And he does bounce! Just jumps up and down and back and forth! And when you tell him sit, he does it! What more could you ask for? Humor and obedience all in one!

The daughter of a friend met him, she is 14, and her first comment was, "This dog has never been loved." That really sums it up! Over the days he is becoming more secure and realizing that we love him, and his wonderful personality is just blossoming.

He is housetrained and has not chewed on anything but his toys. He is also very content to just play with his toys. This guy is a keeper, so get those apps in, he won't last long!

Buddy is going to be at the RAGOM picinic this Saturday, so if you would like to meet this wonderful, handsome, full of love and life boy, find us there!
