Buzz is a very handsome 27kg, 4 year old who’s owners have made the decision to find him a new home because he has been snappy with them both in the past and with a toddler around they don’t feel that they trust him.
He has never been anything but wonderful with the little one, even when she’s trying to take something out of his mouth or play with him. With the teenager he’s also been great until this week when he growled at him for the first time, which was sad because Buzz normally adores him and follows him everywhere and they can often be found having a rough and tumble game together.
There has been issues in the past where his owner has tried to get him off the bed and he snapped at her, she left the room and went back in and Buzz’s growled. Buzz then got off and went into the teenagers room and was perfectly polite and happy again. The next day Buzz stole a jumper of the baby’s and resourse guarded it. When he was fed up with it he dropped it and walked away.
His owners say he’s always been a bit like this. He is good with visitors but does jump up on them when they arrive, he can also jump up on his owners and the 14 year old.
Buzz loves going camping most weekends with the family and on hot days is happy going to air-conditioned shopping centres where he behaves perfectly. He’s also visited dog friendly cafes and restaurants and again behaved beautifully.
He does love to cuddle and will most nights try and get on his owners knee and can be very affectionate and is protective of them. He loves playing ball games or flirt pole in the garden, he responds well to commands such as sit, lay, paw, spin, roll and wait. They also play find it where they get him to sit and wait then hide treats around the house or garden and tell him to find it and he’ll sniff them all out, he will also do this on a walk if they take a bag of treats and scatter them for him. When they moved house there was a large trampoline in the garden which Buzz instantly took to. They couldn’t get rid of it because Buzz liked to get on top of it and sunbathe and if they give him a bone he will take it on top of the trampoline to eat. They always refer to it as Buzz’s trampoline.
He is brilliant with other dogs and has a dog walker who takes him out with multiple dogs, he plays with family members dog absolutely fine.
The family had help from a behaviourist and were impressed at Buzz’s instant respect for the trainer. Buzz was amazing with him, but at home when they tried to copy those techniques Buzz didn’t show them the same level of respect. They also took him to puppy classes when he was much younger and he loved that.
Buzz hasn’t lived with cats but is just curious when he sees them. Around livestock he is always on lead because his owners believe that he could chase. They usually use long line to his harness on walks because he doesn’t have a reliable recall. He also wears a figure of eight or a slip lead.
He is a healthy, neutered boy from working bloodlines, he has had a fatty lump checked on his neck and it has been confirmed as nothing sinister by the vet. He can also be left on his bed in the kitchen for 4/5 hours after exercise and is a great traveller, when they go anywhere he settles down and sleeps or gazes out of the window.
Buzz is currently in the Barnsley area and will be rehomed with his 5 weeks free Agria Insurance and his Adoption Contract.
