Buddy

Buddy will be 2 years old on 4/24. Buddy is a neutered male Labradoodle/Border Collie mix.
He LOVES attention, definitely not a sit and sleep kind of pup. He is very food motivated and understands basic commands however he doesn’t commit to them all the time.
He is having trouble with house training. There are weeks he can go without an accident and then all of a sudden he’s on a pee streak for a week.
Absolutely needs a yard with a fence to run off his energy however he does enjoy the comforts of inside over outside; but that’s mainly just to stick by your side.

We are rehoming him unfortunately due to the honest lack of time between having a newborn and full time jobs. We see the how much fun he wants to have but at the end of the day we are exhausted and just ready for bed. We wish for him to have a patient, loving family that has enough time for the attention he deserves.
