Buddy came to live at our house when our son got back from the Army. He stayed when our son moved to an apartment complex that doesn't take dogs and he has never left!!!

Due to his age, he is now a "silver backed Golden".  

He is spoiled in a good way.

He is a carm or fity dog (city and farm) living in the city most weekdays and farm on the weekends and holidays (at least till we move!)

He is rather a snob or maybe an introvert. He thinks a dog park is a place to do his business but if another walks up to him it's "who are you and WHY are you sniffing my butt?" He's NOT aggressive but he only plays with dogs he knows.
