Our Buddy whom is 3 years old we can't quite figure out. He will not walk up or down stairs at all no matter how much we have tried to teach him. We have to carry him like a little baby. =) He's jumpy and easily spooked.
What has us concerned the most is his need to pace the floor. When he's unable to get on the bed he'll pace the floor until we pick him up. He'll circle the spot he wants to sleep on the bed for a good couple of minutes before setting down. When he's excited he'll run in a very fast tight circle.
He'll continually circle the spot on the patio where he wants to do his business with his nose to the ground before finally getting the job done. When we let him back into the house he'll do a couple of quick loops immediately after entering the house and then continue walking.
His coordination isn't all that well either. Sometimes he'll fall off the bed. He won't sleep anywhere else except with us. When we toss a treat on the floor he doesn't really see it being thrown unless it's right down in front of him.
He's anxious and not afraid to bark his mind when he wants something. He's very picky about his food. A lot of times we have to hand feed him. And he sleeps a lot most of the time all day long.
