My new dog! Hope to train him as therapy dog!

Meet Buddy. Meet Buddy. He’s 11 months old, male (neutered), Basenji mix (probably lab, heeler, or shepherd, maybe some of each, but mostly Basenji). He’s really laid back and relaxed, but at playtime, he is definitely playful (and I’m sure as he gets settled in this’ll pick up), and is really comfortable and calm around kids, no agitation at all with em. Great on the leash (I think I’ve got him started heeling, he already sits and stays for a bit, working on ‘down.’). I’m getting him obedience training and plan on having him tested to see if he meets Delta Society standards for temperament (which is looking good so far), obedience, etc to see if I can get him trained up as a therapy dog. I’d do some volunteering, too, at the local Children’s Hospital too (he’s really that good so far).

Buddy n me on day one!
