"Buddy is a nervous wee dog who prefers a nice quiet life. When he’s feeling settled, he is happy and playful, and loves chasing after a ball.

"He likes meeting up with his small dog friends for a walk, but he is very fearful of larger dogs so can be reactive around them. He loves a good belly scratch and likes being fussed over, but this has to be on his terms as he likes his space too.

"Buddy will require regular visits to the groomers to keep him comfortable and looking dapper."
