Buddy is a black and white great dane mix, he weighs about 100 pounds and is about 7 years old. We found Buddy as a stray and took him into our home. We recently had no choice but to move into an apartment and we have too many dogs for such a small space.

Buddy is absolutely the gentlest dog ever. He is excellent around kids, cats, dogs, and small rodents. He is very laid back and relaxed. Buddy is a big couch potato, actually more like a floor potato. He is completely house trained, doesn't bark at all, and doesn't jump on people. When alone, Buddy loves attention and playing fetch, but when around other dogs he often stays in the background of the group. He also walks very gently on a leash without pulling.

This picture was taken in November 2004.

Buddy does have an open cyst on his back that needs to be stitched closed, it is about 3/4" wide.
