BUSTER

Buster is a 5-year-old, medium/standard, classic tri-color Bernedoodle. He weighs approximately 50 lbs. He has been a pet and a breeding dog in our program and is health-tested and fully up-to-date on all vaxxes. He is not OFA tested, but his sire was. We are moving away from the medium/standard breeding size and focusing on the mini/medium, so would like to retire Buster to a home environment where he will be well-loved. Buster is an active dog who enjoys being outdoors. He has a bit of the classic Bernedoodle stubbornness, but could likely be trained to a much higher level than what he currently is. He is very smart! He is an irresistible extrovert who loves to hug and be pet. After a good walk or run, he will lay down in your lap or next to you on the couch for a while. He's a solid companion and a good boy. He does well in a fenced yard or on a wireless fence, but does not do particularly well on a leash. He is NOT neutered. He may spray indoors if intact females are present, and may otherwise just out of habit (not sure). We have found washable male "bands" indispensable so that Buster can enjoy being an indoor pet and part of our household. However, neutering may help this. We would prefer his new owner plan on neutering him. Photos of Buster are approx 2 years old. His brown has faded a bit to light tan, and he has some grey in his black fur, but he is truly a handsome and well-loved dog. Now that he is getting older (5 years old), he is getting less tolerant of some aspects of grooming. My daughter uses a mesh cloth muzzle while grooming. Buster is used to being around other dogs and is not aggressive, but does vie for attention and prefer to be the center of attention! He is good around kids but may not know his size or placement around small children, so older children would be ideal for re-home.
