Health Issue(s)

• Long haired, double coat requires regular grooming to avoid becoming matted.

Temperament

• Instinctively wary of strangers.
• An incredibly happy and affectionate dog that loves to be with people.
• Playful; enjoys retrieving balls or sticks. Although Bud hasn’t shown us yet that he can swim, he doesn’t seem to mind water.
• Smart; eager to train and being highly motivated by food, is a quick learner.
• No body sensitivities, grooming and trimming nails is no problem.
• No object or food aggression when on his own. Can get a bit protective when in the presence of other dogs, particularly males.
• Can be reactive with other dogs. Bud is strong, so it is important to exercise caution when introducing other dogs.

Owner Suitability

• Needs an active family that he can be a BIG part of.
• Older kids would be better suited to Bud because of his size and strength.
• Could live with another dog IF it were the right dog. Preferably a female.
• Fenced yard is a must.
