Buddy and I have been together for a year now, He was a rescue dog a little thin and his owner could not afford to keep him. Now he is an amazing (Slightly over weight) black Cocker Spaniel x Beagle, to the people he knows he is the most incredibly gentle and tolerant dog, He loves ball games BUT NEVER brings them back:-). He has to be kept on lead and enjoys the 10m training lead so he can chase around. Buddy has a strong home protective tendency and unfortunately has growled at the postman and now has to always wear his muzzle in public, He loves being told to "Go Find IT" and will race around sniffing out piece of food I hide for him and he loves water, paddling and swimming in rivers and the sea when its warm enough.
