About Buster:

Buster is a medium-sized, male Huntaway, aged 5 years old.

Description:

Hi, I’m Buster. I’m a 5-year-old handsome huntaway, living in Taihape.

First thing in the morning, I do a little happy dance!

Then I jump all over you with excitement.

I can’t help it. Life’s great!

Attention, a good paw shake, plenty of pats and I’m a happy lad!

Sadly, due to severe arthritis in both my elbows, I’ve had to retire early from my work.

I likely had hip dysplasia in puppyhood, due to a genetic issue.

The good news is I’ll be fine with a slower pace and some light exercise.

My farmer had no intention of saying goodbye. She thinks I’m great and loves having my company through her days.

Sadly though, I do find it a struggle – seeing the rest of the team head off to work each day.

So, she’s hoping to find me a loving pet home – where I can be a part of things and not feel so left out of the action.

It’s heartbreaking being round all those things I love – like the quad bike.

I want to jump on it but it hurts my joints too much.

My farmer thinks I’d be happy with a big flat yard to mosey round in.

I currently live on a farm filled with steep hills, which makes things hard for me.

And she thinks I’d even settle well into a town home.

To keep me healthy and happy, I just need to be kept lean, with some pain relief and joint supplements – and I’m good to go!

All I really need in a day, exercise-wise, is a half hour walk, then I’m happy just to chill out.

I’m quite partial to swimming in the nearby dam, so I’d love to find a place near water. Swimming is so great for my joints!

My farmer thinks I’d be happiest as a solo dog but I’d also be okay sharing my home with a cruisy one too.

I tend to enjoy being the natural leader – just so you know.

I could share my home with a cat too! I’m not too worried about the felines.

I just let them go their way and I go mine.

And you know what? I’m not even a territorial guy.

I’m great with people. When strangers come to my home, I just give them a sniff to suss them out.

My farmer feels sad to be saying goodbye but she knows a new environment, without the temptation to be involved in work, would be best for me.

So, if you’re looking for a loving playful man – that asks for very little in life – remember the name Buster!
