Hi my name is Buddy! I am a big friendly boy! I was living with my owners for 10 years, LBS offered to take me temporarily so I could have more space to run. Over time my owners realised I need more space than they can give me and agreed for me to find a retirement home.

​

I am a gentle giant who wants so much love! I love people, I always want to cuddle or play, or just be around you and enjoy your company.

I am a big boy so I need space to lay down and relax. I have gotten older now so my joints are getting a little stiff, but once up and loosened, I have lots of energy! Ramps help me as I can’t jump too much anymore either. Although I am an old man, I still have plenty of life in me and enjoy being around young dogs and play with them.

I love to sleep too, a big soft squishy bed is all I need so I can enjoy my many little siestas throughout the day. I am not bothered by noises and people at all and love to get a welcome pat from guests. Belly rubs are sooooo good I wish they would never stop! I am also very food motivated and will do anything for a tasty treat! When I am hungry I turn into a persistent barker asking for my meal non stop!! But don’t get me wrong, I do it in a nice and cute way. I don’t like to share my meals neither with people or other dogs so best I get my space to enjoy my food.

I can get a little possessive, I like my own toys and my own things, I’m not always in the mood of sharing. I don’t like cats at all so I would prefer a household without any small furry weird creature.

Attention in general is just to be on me please! I like exploring too, beaches are lovely, I’m not a great swimmer but I love a long good beach walk on a sunny day. I’m a very good boy at driving in cars, I like to look out the window but if it’s a long journey I’ll take a nap! I have long hair which needs brushing too, I like to be a pampered pooch and grooming feels great! I’m not such a big fan of a bath but I am still a very good boy!
