It was love at first sight! What a handsome charming chap he was, he came up to me and licked my hand and that was it really, I had made up my mind (and that of Graham my husband) that Buzz was the dog for us. Since we collected him in March 2007 we have you could say, never had a dull moment! At first we did wonder ‘what had we done’ as Buzz or Buzzkins as he is now also known was rather a handful i.e. he just wanted to jump up and lick everyone and got very excited. However, he has now calmed down.

Like most trailhounds he just loves all food, especially that which is not his! From the start Buzz slept all through the night from 10pm until 7am when I get up. He is a very loving and gentle dog who has fitted in our home and family from day one. At the moment he his asleep on his own sofa with our 14 year old cat, Toffee.

Buzz loves nothing more than spending time in the garden especially sun bathing. He also loves going for walks, these have often been a challenge to say the least! Off the lead he has visited the Mill House Hotel (I had always wondered what the grounds were like!), joined in a football match, helped a lady lambing and interfered with a man who was quietly watching sport on his TV in his cottage and Graham had to retrieve him from the brook at Broughton Castle, and finally we fetched him from a lady’s house in a rain storm after he went walk about, so off lead is eventful to say the least. However, we have had some success with the whistle off the lead and he has been much better.

Buzz  attended dog training classes, first week not so bad, second week terrible but third week much better and he was told by the trainer he had improved 100%, that’s my boy! We really love Buzz and are so pleased to have found him.
All the family love Buzz as he is so friendly and so so gentle and loves nothing more than giving a you a great big kiss when he can.
