Geesh, I'm so sorry that the situation with Buddy has put such a stress on your marriage. How hard it would be to relinquish Buddy (again) cause the poor dear must have been through some terrible experiences in his past. I know that those good ole GSD's are as sharp as tacks, and I'm working hard on some of Klo's issues too. It must be awful scary for your hubby never to know from day to day how Buddy's going to react, but, despite everything, he sounds like a very patient guy, so Bless him for that! (not to mention really good looking..does that count?)
