Border Collie / Spaniel Mix

Are you one of those folks who can talk yourself into and out of getting a dog - especially a big dog? Are you a large dog lover but live in a townhouse so are worried it's too much dog energy for your space? Is housebreaking a big guy and dealing with puppy craziness more than you want to take on? Do you want a dog to accompany you on long walks and be a strong, peaceful companion but not have to train him yourself? Well then.... meet Buddy! The training's been done and the housebreaking's been broke and what's left is one large, loveable boy. He can be trusted in your house, loves everyone... people, dogs and cats. Buddy is easy going, eager to please and easily the best dog I've ever had in my house. At 6, he has many good years left and he will be a loving and loyal friend to the family or person who is smart enough to come meet him. Plus, he's neutered and up to date on all shots so he's ready to go home. Here is a boy with charming little quirks, all guaranteed to make you smile. He's a bit of a leaner so brace yourself when you pet him. With a Halti collar I can walk him with one finger on the leash. Without the Halti it's a bit tougher due to his size. He understands and obeys the phrases "off", "sit" and "go potty outside". He really understands and likes the word "treat"! He loves to carry his rawhide bone everywhere he goes but rarely chews on it. He's built like a lab but points like a bird dog which may explain the white fur with black under markings around his neck and on his legs. Finally, admittedly Buddy is a bit portly at present but with some regular exercise and a few green beans he'll be back to fighting weight soon.
