Our sweet Buck (ADOPTED!) is very friendly with all people and all dogs. He weighs 35 lbs. and we estimate is between 1-2 years old. He is happy, mellow, and very social when meeting and around people. Buck adores human attention, and is very loving with his people. He will put his head on your lap or nuzzle you, wanting to cuddle. As a typical cattle dog, he checks in often with his person/people and likes to follow you from room to room.
Our boy very much enjoys playing with other dogs, and is a HUGE fan of tennis balls. He is easy going when meeting and around other dogs (and people) and does NOT guard his toys or food at all, and is NOT mouthy, and he does NOT try to chew on things. As a young dog, Buck is a moderate to high energy guy. He is also extremely smart, observant and curious, wanting to check out new places and things. He will need a home where he can get a good deal of both physical exercise and activities to keep his brain occupied.
Buck is very attentive to his people. He minds people, is very eager to please, and will come when called. His foster mom says he is a fast learner and learns routines very quickly. He is learning a few commands, but previously was never taught any obedience commands.
Buck is housebroken, and will go into his crate to sleep at night. He also rides very nicely in a car. He loves going out on walks. Buck enjoys being part of a pack and will follow the lead of his canine foster brother and sister, when out on walks. He is also quiet and fine when left alone.
As a happy, playful guy, the only time we have seen his herding instinct emerge, is when he wants to play with another dog. If a dog is not quick to run and play, Buck will nip at the other dog's heels to try to get him/her going. He can be a pest, if the other dog doesn't want to play. We have not seen Buck with cats or children. All in all, Buck is just a very easy going boy, whose tail is constantly, happily wagging.
