Buddy

Buddy is a friendly, charming and bubbly boy with a lot of love to give. He enjoys meeting new people and will often greet them with a toy in his mouth, ready for a game of tug or fetch! He loves going on long walks, taking in all the good sniffs and playing with his dog pals, although he still needs to learn which dogs he should and shouldn’t try to play with! He is a young, active dog who is looking for an equally active owner who has the time, patience and commitment to continue with his training and socialisation. Buddy truly lives up to his name and will make a loyal, loving and lifelong friend for the right owner or family.

Other Notes

Buddy can live with sensible children of 10 + providing they are used to being around dogs and will not be intimidated by his excitable nature at times. He could potentially live with another dog subject to a successful meet at Mayhew and could live with a dog confident cat as long as his owners continue to teach him not to chase. He could live in a flat with access to a garden but can be vocal at times so this should be considered. Buddy has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and is up to date with flea and worm treatment. He has also been health checked and behaviourally assessed.
