Buddy

Buddy has a typical Dachshund temperament. He's an excellent alert barker, you'll know when mail or packages arrive. As you'd expect, guests are heralded with a chorus of barks and initially treated with wariness. Thankfully Buddy takes cues from his similarly sized foster sister, she adores guests and loves getting attention and many pets. Buddy has realized that when guests arrive, she gets more attention and love. He can't abide by this injustice and this helps him get over his suspicion of guests more quickly.

Buddy was used as a stud, where the breeding situation turned into a hoarding level of dogs. Given his background, he does surprisingly well with humans. As expected, he's very well socialized with similarly sized dogs. He does best with adults, he found children a bit loud and fast for his comfort. He does great with dog-savvy, calm cats. However if the cat runs he'll happily chase. As a Dachshund, he's a pro-level chaser with prey drive. He likes to play chase with his foster sister, which is a great alternative to other options.

Buddy's fur-every family needs patient humans, with breed experience who are home often. He prefers women and is rated for an adult only home. No shared walls for Buddy, he's too vocal for close neighbors. He'd like moderately active humans and at least one similarly sized playful dog sibling. He's fine with calm, dog-savvy cats who don't care to run. He's yard optional as he'll go potty while out on walks.
