What I've read about milk is that the vast majority of dogs are lactose intolorant and you won't know if you're dog is until they have dairy... so they just recommend you ere on the safe side and just never give your animal dairy products. I think, for this specific dog, you'd be okay giving him buttermilk if you wanted because you know he won't have a bad reaction to it....
Although, obviously, milk is not in the dog's regular diet and I'm sure you could cut it out without anything bad happening as well.
