“Buddy”

Buddy was born on June 27, 2018 and was bred by us, Wolfdogs of the Ebon Blade, here in Texas, USA. He is from our very first litter, which had 9 puppies (six males and three females). The litter theme was Texas Flowers, so each puppy was given the common name of a flower species native to Texas. Buddy’s parents are Anubis and BIS MULTI GPI INT NAT CH Tarheel Queen of Hearts (“Talia”).

Buddy is a very serious and thoughtful dog who enjoys hanging out with us and watching everything we do. Occasionally, he’ll come up for some scratches on his neck and chest, which are his favorite, but for the most part, he likes to be close without being snuggly. He has tended to be a rather quiet dog for most of his life, although he has started to become more vocal within the last year or so, which is fun to see. He’s not super playful, although he does get more silly in cold weather! He is a very intelligent guy who learns quickly and is very food motivated, so training is pretty easy. He remains calm in stressful situations and prefers to just sit and observe everything going on while next to us.

Buddy has displayed mild Same Sex Aggression towards some of his brothers, but is perfectly happy to be best friends with his littermate brother, Teddy. He has a fairly high prey drive, so we do not allow him around cats or other small animals. Buddy will resource guard food and other high value items from other dogs, but not from us. He’s a bit of a fatty at heart, and he’ll absolutely steal another dog’s food if given the opportunity, so we keep him separated for feeding times.

Overall, his calm, thoughtful, and more soulful demeanor has led him to be a fairly easy dog. We hope that he will pass down these positive traits to his puppies in the future. As of right now, we only have one litter intended for him, but we may decide to keep him intact long enough for a second litter if we like how his first litter turns out.
