Goliath is now “Buddy” he seemed to respond to that name so we stuck with it. He is a breed we really didn’t know much about and thought we could get him to be a house dog…… He hates it inside the house. Paces goes to the windows and barks all night. He also runs when not on the cable. John takes him for daily walks and he is getting better at listening. Our yard is 3/4 fenced in but he finds the open areas quite easily and takes off. He doesn’t listen at all when off the leash and you call him. We have a goat and chickens so we are going to extend their pasture field and see if he would be content in there. Since we have gotten Buddy we have seen 2 hobby farms with this breed of dog in the pasture field with the goats. He is a really sweet and loving dog. Great watch dog. We just keep trying to figure out where he will be the happiest. We know it will take time so we will make a change for a week or 2 to see what he likes. He does a weird thing with his food. Covers it up with dirt and grass?
