Buddy (P)
2 Year Old Male Rough Coat

Buddy (P) (the P stands for Palmdale since we have another dog with the same name) is a strong young dog.. He was found in the Lancaster/Palmdale area with his friend, Bailey, and both were turned in to the local pound. Since he was already neutered and had a microchip, the shelter contacted his owner, who no longer wanted the dogs for reasons unknown, so they contacted us.

Buddy is on the thin side, but he is well-fed and knows basic obedience commands. He needs some minor grooming, but all in all, he looks to be in very good shape. The folks at the shelter told us that he was found going after another dog and that he was animal aggressive. Since he just got here last night, it's hard for us to tell yet. He doesn't like to be in a fenced kennel and does growl and bark at the dogs surrounding him there, but once we took him out for a walk, he was just fine. When he saw other dogs, he definitely pulled and tried to go over to them, but his tail was wagging and he wasn't growling, so we'll see how he does over the next week or so. To be on the safe side, for now let's say that he would be best in a home without other male dogs. Since he was found with a female, he may get along with other females. Too early to tell.

Buddy hasn't shown any aggression towards humans or kids. Like Bailey, if he sees a car door, he heads for it, expecting that sooner or later, he'll end up with a cheeseburger. He pulled a little bit when we first took a walk, but as soon as he had taken care of business, he walked calmly on the leash.

Buddy doesn't appear to drool much at all, which means he won't leave your bedspread as messy as my gentle giant does. If there's room on your bed for this young boy, please fill out an application and we'll arrange an apointment for you to come and meet him.
