meet buddy (the daddy)

Buddy comes from Red Bank Shooter and Kozar's Omega (Meg), and is an amazing dog. He has recently gone through some life changes, as his previous owners could no longer keep him. Since Buddy and Melody produced such great pups last year, it seemed natural to bring him into our home.
Buddy has made quite an impression on us. We have known him to be a smart dog, but he has far exceeded our expectations. He is an exceptionally smart dog with a huge desire to please. He learns new rules quickly, and obeys them willingly. Within a few months we have begun to build a vocabulary, and he has been a quick study on applying his new words to new situations. What is most impressive is how willing he is to apply that vocabulary to obey our will.
He is a big boy - bigger than the average English Shepherd. He is a gentle, sweet-mannered dog. We have often thought he should be called Bear, because of his size. Truthfully, he is a great big teddy bear. He loves to love.
Although we are just getting started with his training, he is a very quick study. His desire to please is so strong that all is involved in his training is getting him to understand our intent. Once he understands, he obeys very well. He has learned his boundaries and respects them better than the natives.
His daughter Aggie has taken the lead on teaching Buddy the "really important things." She really believed he needed to learn to play. Honestly, it took a long time for him to catch on. This was probably the hardest concept to teach him! But Aggie did not relent. After about two weeks of frequent pressures from Aggie and encouragement from our youngest child, he discovered he loves this play thing!
We are currently looking for one last home for Buddy; a family who will finally be his forever home.
