Story
Charlie has a big personality and heart. Charlie loves laps, attention, and spending time outside sunbathing. He's affectionate with our kids and others once comfortable. Charlie is territorial and may bark at visitors or strangers on the property. He is a great guard dog. He has nipped at strangers coming to door when feeling protective and needs a confident, patient owner to continue training. He also does best with a consistent potty routine. Charlie’s ideal home is with an experienced owner familiar with small, protective breeds, who can give him structure he needs. With the right home, Charlie will be a loyal, loving companion.
