Buddy

Buddy is a loyal, lively, and wonderfully affectionate ten-year-old who has been a treasured part of my life, and it’s with a heavy heart that I’m seeking a new home for him due to development within my career. He’s a true “dog’s dog” — happiest with a ball in his mouth, grass under his paws, and plenty of space to run, sniff, and explore. Clever, responsive, and eager to please, Buddy understands far more than just basic commands and brings endless joy to anyone who loves a playful companion. He is fantastic with people of all ages, including children who adore watching him chase a ball again and again, and he has lived harmoniously with dogs, cats, horses, and even spent time around busy yards.

What Buddy needs most is consistency and someone who will enjoy including him in their daily rhythm. When he’s walked regularly, engaged with, and given clear boundaries, he is incredibly well-mannered, calm, and content — a quiet cuddler in the evenings and an all-round gentleman in the home. His favourite thing in the world is fetch, and he will happily chase a ball until he’s ready to curl up for a rest. Buddy is healthy, clean, and full of heart. He would make the perfect addition to a loving family or individual who can offer him the attention, activity, and companionship he truly thrives on.
