Bucky the male German Shepherd dog looking for new home, for sale in Cavan

This is Bucky, 2 and a half year old male German Shepherd. He is very playful, enjoys long walks especially in the forest where he can roam freely. He also loves to swim. He knows commands and is good on a leash but you have to be stern with him because he can get too excited. He is good with children. He is good with cats, he lived at home with two cats and he just played with them, however with outside cats he acts like any other dog. He is very friendly towards other dogs and wants to play with them, we never had an incident of him being aggressive.

He is vaccinated, microchipped and neutered.

He can live inside or outside, of course he would prefer the inside since he is very companionable.

If he lives outside he needs a big garden.

He is used to being alone for most of the day when we are away at work.

Unfortunately at the moment our circumstances changed and we can longer provide him with the necessary time and attention he needs and deserves.
