Hi all,
This is a courtesy post for a client, this dog is lovely and perfect for an owner who is home a lot.
His current owner is heartbroken she can’t keep him , but knows he would be better off with a new family/person, he will only go to a special home and photos/videos are available by request.
Buddy(Bubba)
Chocolate lab/hound cross
7 years old
Ideal home for him:
-Someone with more time and confidence.
-a whole family (teenagish aged kids)or retired semi retired couple
-someone with hound experience preferably
-a larger fenced yard or rural setting (fencing is key) not sure how he’d be with chickens?
-active family
-home a lot work from home
-people who like to snuggle big dogs, allowed on couch
-willingness to work on separation anxiety (he could be very different in a different environment too?)
-willingness to work on his reactivity to motorcycles/atvs
About him:
He’s incredibly intelligent, he will adore you and just wants love and security.
He loves to observe and sniff
He’s very strong and fast. (Do not underestimate this! He can go from zero to sixty in a hot second!)
He can jump very high as well so don’t trust a fence until you’re sure.
He really just wants to be with his people.
He loves being outside
His favourite thing is getting water logged sticks out of the creek/river and chewing them.
He loves heat, loves to bask in the sun.
He loves to run, gets the zoomies, be careful though because he can knock you over if you’re not prepared. He can get overly excited sometimes and just needs directives to calm him.
He’s wonderful in the house, mellow listens well. Just lounges.
Outside if he’s off leash he doesn’t listen really. He’ll stick with you, but if he sees, smells hears something, his ears shut off. I’m sure someone with more experience/confidence could change this.
He’s good with other dogs, could benefit from another similar size dog in the home.
Good with cats, with directives at first.
He’s a wonderful dog, and would make the right family/ person very happy.
