Alfie

Description

Aflie is super energetic and always wants to be played with. Always! He has enough energy for everyone in the family twice over. He is extremely agile and athletic and it is not rare to see him bounding over five foot high fences! He also always has to have something in his mouth, whether it be toy, someone's shoe, stick, leaf or even stone. Despite this endless source of energy Alfie enjoys a good bit of quality time with anyone he can get his paws on. He is very very loyal and sometimes overly protective, and will often step in to stand up for his soft older brother (Ludo). The bond they have together is fantastic and they complement each other perfectly. He makes a very good watch dog yet he has an extremely soft mouth, and would make a very good game retriever. He is quite content instead retrieving family members slippers it would seem.
