***Buddy is now RESERVED, we are no longer accepting applications, thank you ***
Buddy is a young Frenchie who came to us from the pound.
In general Buddy behaves well around other dogs and could live with an older, well balanced calm female dog. He can become a little boisterous when playing with his male friends and this can sometimes spill over when he gets carried away.
Buddy had a rough start to his life as he came in to HH in poor condition. He was neutered and underwent BOAS surgery to widen his airways and help his breathing. He was very poorly afterwards and this affected his tolerance towards some visitors to the foster home. For this reason we believe he would suit a family in a quiet household with no children or teenage children where there won’t be an abundance of visitors. Buddy needs careful introduction to new people who enter his home environment as he can get protective of his owner and especially doesn’t like tall males! full details and guidance can be given to any interested applicants.
Whilst he will approach people and enjoys gentle affection, he can quickly become over stimulated. He doesn’t enjoy being rubbed around his face and ears but prefers a gentle rub from underneath his chin. With encouragement Buddy will go for short walks but tends to lag behind. His basic obedience is good and he knows commands such as sit and wait and his recall off the lead is generally good even with distractions around. He is crate trained and will go to his bed when asked. He is happy to sleep in his crate overnight and during the day when left alone.
Buddy is fed twice a day and will finish his meal straight away. He enjoys treats as a reward and is particularly keen on a licki mat which also helps him settle down in his crate. He will occasionally play with toys but does enjoy chewing a Nylabone. Buddy will tolerate being groomed and will allow you to touch him head to tail although this should be done once trust has been built up with his new human.
To adopt Buddy, please complete an Adoption Application form and we will be in touch.
