Charlie is wonderfully smart and very affectionate. Charlie is WELL TRAINED: he sits, comes, waits, lays down, and walks nicely on the leash. He’s housetrained, very well behaved and a pleasure to have in the house. He’s up-beat, yet laid back in the house and very sensitive and eager to obey rules that you may want to establish for him. He’s not a chewer and not destructive. He loves being with you, but also knows how to occupy himself nicely with a Kong toy or rawhides until you are ready to go for a nice, long walk or jog. He loves outings, hiking, swimming, etc. Charlie’s most relaxed and happiest when he’s with someone who is able to be firm and consistent leader for him. Charlie prefers a household with grown-ups only; children are too annoying for him (sorry 'bout that!). Charlie gets along with laid-back, non-aggressive dogs.
