Buddy is a very handsome 5-year-old GSPxESS and a lovely smaller size at around 23kg. This affectionate boy is looking for a new home where he can enjoy plenty of companionship due to his separations anxiety and where he can continue to thrive. Buddy absolutely loves people and being part of the family. He is a friendly, gentle boy who enjoys nothing more than spending time with his humans. He currently lives with an 8-month-old baby and is calm and relaxed around her, happily sharing the sofa with his owners while she is nearby and accepting gentle strokes. He has also spent time with visiting children aged 5 and 3. While he can sometimes be a little cautious at first, he enjoys joining in when they play with toys or feeding games, and he is very happy around older children and visiting adults. Buddy enjoys his walks and exploring the outdoors. He walks nicely on a harness and lead and loves having the opportunity to run and explore. Due to his reactivity around other dogs, he is only let off lead when the park is clear of other dogs or when visiting private dog parks where he can enjoy the space safely. His recall is generally good, especially to “Buddy come” or a whistle, although like many gundog crosses he can occasionally be distracted by exciting wildlife such as squirrels or birds. Buddy can be reactive around other dogs, particularly unfamiliar or excitable male dogs. He tends to do best with calm dogs who respect his space and he is comfortable with dogs he already knows well – he regularly stays with a friend who has a male dog and does well there. However, he can feel uncomfortable if dogs rush up to him, and around three years ago he did attack a male dog while on a group walk with a dog walker. With careful management and the right introductions, Buddy can happily coexist with the right canine companions. Buddy’s owners have worked hard to support him with his separation anxiety using the Julie Naismith training approach alongside veterinary-prescribed Fluoxetine, and this helped him build up to being left for up to two hours. Since the arrival of their baby, they have not been able to continue the training as consistently and Buddy has taken a step back in his progress, which is why the difficult decision has been made to find Buddy a new home where he can continue progressing with the time and support he needs. Buddy can sometimes feel a little anxious when travelling in the car, although he also becomes very excited when he recognises familiar destinations.
