Buddy – collie x

[jaywhelan]

This is Buddy

The lovely Buddy was tied up in a field on Saturday night and left there but this hasn’t stopped his friendly outgoing nature and love for dogs and people alike.

We took Buddy into Fostercare yesterday morning and from the second we met him it was like he had known us for years as we got lots of cuddles and kisses.

He is around five months old and still has a lot of puppy in him. Loves walks, rubs and playing with other dogs (at the moment he is playing with taylor over rights to a rope toy) and will need alot of exercise in his new home. We believe he would be a wonderful addition to any active family!

Hi, I found buddy(i was calling him beethoven) an sunday morning at 7am.he was friendly from the start.i couldn’t keep him as i’v a full house he knows sit and loves to fetch..i’m so happy that he’s in foster already.someone please give him a forever home

well, we’ve had buddy for two days now, he is such a pet, if he’s not playing with taylor and casey, he’s curled up on the couch beside us or asleep on the floor, like any collie all he wants is love, affection and the odd bit of exercise, he’s very loyal and has been following me everywhere i go. how anyone could ever let this little man go, let alone abandon him is completely beyond us, he is great, a real dogs dog, if you know what i mean. he’s very smart and quick to learn, for instance, when we picked him up from ashton he didn’t have a name(so we were told, sorry mickmcd, and thank you for doing what you did, if only everyone was so kind) so he became buddy, by 6.30 that evening he knew he was buddy and would come when called. buddy is still a puppy both physically and at heart and has everything you’d expect a pup would have to offer, in the right hands he will be an incredibly well trained dog, in any hands he will be a loving, loyal and caring member of the family. whoever adopts buddy will be a very lucky person/family.

i had to distract them to get this shot because they were playing

Ah sure I forgot to mention the name when dropping him off.It killed me leaving him there but knowing there’s people like yourself did take the sting out of it.All i did was bring him home for 2 hours so it’s hardly kind.The look on my girlfriends face when she walked into the kitchen and seen him was priceless.a mix of delight at a new puppy and fear of oh crap another dog! fair play to you for fostering him.i would love to do more

So we’ve had buddy now for five days and I am falling in love with this little man. He has the most handsome face and fantastically soft coat. He is so enthusiastic and gives you the happiest welcome when you come down in the morning. He loves to play with our dogs and will go all day long but he will also cuddle up beside you for a snooze. Anyone who gets this dog to join their family is going to be so lucky! Aoife

So we have come to the conclusion that Buddy is a collie/husky cross over the last couple of days his face has got the real husky look about it and he has a a very curly tail. His training is coming on in leaps and bounds, we had our first accident free night last night. He is also starting to learn that if he goes out the back garden we won’t lock him out there and he is the master of sit. Jay is also teaching him to respond to hand signals and he will sit without a word uttered. He is learning stay but there is still a little work to be done. We had our first off he lead walk last night and he is quite happy to walk along beside you and comes when called. He is mad about shoes and is constantly in a tug of war with taylor.

ok, so i thought I’d put up a couple of photos of buddy chilling out, Taylor cut her leg while out walking last night and had to go to the vet(thank god for the UCD late night veterinary hospital). so we’re all taking it easy today and i thought it was the perfect time to show you that although buddy is very happy while active and out and about he also loves a cuddle with us and curling up with Casey and Taylor……

his nature is just as beautiful as his face

the three amigos(this was taken two days ago, hence no bandage on taylor)

chilling out with aoife and loving it

i know buddy will be rehomed with a wonderful family that will give him all the love and affection he deserves, but we’ll really miss him whenever he goes to his forever home and i know Casey and Taylor will miss him too, he really is fantastic!!!

sorry, i forgot to mention that buddy had his first vac last night, was also microchiped and will be neutered in the next week or two. i have to say fair play to all the hard working members of DID, I’ve never seen people with such a natural yet profound love for the animals they save and we’re very proud to be a small part it!
