Buddy is a one year old Heeler mix. He learns fast and is very attentive. He's house trained, and if you go out he just sleeps on his bed and waits for you to come back. He hikes well off leash on trails, and is learning to like riding in the car and walking on a leash. He weighs about 75 pounds. He likes other dogs and seems to be ok with cats. He takes treats gently. His favorite thing is to sit with his head in your lap and get petted, or to just lean on you if you're standing up. He doesn't chew things or exhibit any destructive behavior. Buddy has had his shots and is neutered. Located in Asheville, NC
