What these letters mean →View Full Embark Panel →About Buddy
Buddy is a blue based brindle smooth coat. Because he is dilute, his base color appears as a dark cream with charcoal (blue) stripes. I don't know why, but Buddy is affectionately called Joe Buddy; my husband's knack for unusual naming conventions. Special note - see Mr. Banks and Emma-Jean so far.
Personality
He is such a fun little dude. He loves to play with his toys and nap with Aspen and our older gentleman cocker spaniel, Harley. He never misses a thing. He likes to be with you at all times.
