About Buddy

Buddy is a very fearful boy, who requires a very quite more rural home with no children as he will snap if he gets really scared. Buddy is a very fearful boy, who requires a very quite more rural home with no children as he will snap if he gets really scared. He would likely need potential adopters to visit more than once as it takes him quite a while to warm up to new people. Once he got used to me, he became very cuddly and affectionate and will follow me everywhere if i let him. He is currently working on going for short walks on a harness, he is terrified of the leads around his neck and will panic and thrash about. But he is doing well on the harness and is growing in confidence. He will need alot of time, patience and understanding. He will now walk on a slip lead for me as he trusts me, be wont walk on a slip lead for anyone else, so a harness would be required.
