Charlie is a little ball of joy.  He would love to greet you at the door with a waggling tail and a kiss hello when you come home.  Charlie is fully house trained and crate trained.  His obedience training is coming along nicely.  He is a very calm dog while at home and walks well on a leash.  He loves to run around when off leash and comes back when called.  He is a little timid with people and needs some time to warm up to someone new.  Once he warms up, he will be more than happy to get his tummy rubbed or to cuddle up in your lap.  Loud noises and sudden movements startle him, so he would do best in a home with older children or adults.  Charlie is least anxious when there is another dog around to help keep him calm.  If your family is patient and understanding of a dog that needs a little extra tender love and care, Charlie may be the dog for you.
