Meet Alfie 🐾

Personality:
Alfie is a happy, social boy who truly loves life and being part of everything his humans are doing. Being outside with his people is his favourite thing in the world and he thrives on adventure. He loves going on hikes, splashing and swimming, chasing waves, playing fetch and joining in on herding style games like chasing a soccer ball. As a Border Collie mix and a young dog, Alfie is very switched on and happiest when both his mind and body are kept busy.

Alfie absolutely loves people, dogs and kids. He especially loves being around other dogs and would suit a home with another young, playful and friendly dog to play with and relax alongside. He is a very affectionate boy and is addicted to sitting or laying on your lap once playtime is over. Alfie is also very funny and keeps everyone laughing with his silly antics like squeezing his whole body into a box to get a treat or flipping upside down trying to catch a fly. Everyone at the Sunday markets knows and loves him.

Training:
Alfie is a very smart boy and has an excellent recall. He surprises everyone with how happily he comes back to his name, especially when rewarded with pats and treats. He loves learning and enjoys training sessions with his humans.

Alfie is still working on a few things. He can pull on the lead, particularly on a short lead, but walks much better on a long leash and will benefit from continued loose lead training. He is obsessed with balls and other dogs and is learning patience and impulse control. Sitting in public spaces and watching the world go by will really help him with this.
Alfie sleeps beautifully in his crate all night and you do not hear a peep out of him.

Perfect Home:
Alfie is looking for active humans who love being outside and are excited to give him a full and enriching life. He would love a home that includes daily adventures such as morning hikes, big swims, training games, dog park visits or structured play, with another outlet again in the evening.

Alfie must go to a home with another young, playful dog as he truly thrives when he has a dog friend around. He is also looking for a home where his people are home a lot, as he does best with company and being included in everyday life and does not suit being left alone for long periods.

Alfie has done very well around children over 8 years old when supervised by an adult and is learning to be calm, give space and listen. He would suit a home that understands young working breeds and is committed to continuing his training and enrichment.

Love & licks!
Alfie 🐾❤️
