Buster - 2 year old male Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross Rottweiler

June 20th, 2008

Lovely Buster (ref 95d) is a 2 year old very mild-mannered black and tan male dog who is a cross between a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and a Rottweiler. He was brought to Derby RSPCA Centre by an RSPCA Inspector.
He is a very well-behaved dog who enjoys keeping company with people and is very friendly and relaxed.

He is also an intelligent dog who knows at least 5 commands and could easily learn more. He would probably enjoy being given more training, because he is a very attentive dog who seems to understand what you want him to do.

He walks very well on the lead and obediently waits at the kerb before crossing the road. Buster likes to play, both with toys and with people, and is a very calm and unflappable dog. He can even seem rather aloof at times, being almost the complete opposite of a bull in a china shop, but is nevertheless a very warm and lovable character who likes to socialise with the human race.

Buster would be suitable to live in an active household where any children were aged 10+ and kind and sensible. He doesn’t enjoy being pulled about, grabbed at and treated like a toy, so any young people in the household would need to behave respectfully towards him and love him for the quiet, thoughtful and sensible dog he is. He does however adore having his back scratched.

He would need to be the only pet in the household, because like most dogs he would chase cats and other small furry creatures. He also doesn’t enjoy the company of other dogs at all.

Buster is an extremely sound chap who needs a home for life with dog lovers who can give him lots of walks and outdoor fun along with games that let him use his clever old brain. He really is a superb and very lovable dog who will make an excellent companion, best friend and key family member for anyone who can give him all the love, care and exercise he deserves.
