Alfie is a 5 year old Golden show type Cocker Spaniel. He needs a new home as his owners are expecting a baby and Alfie doesn't like young children. Alfie has not lived with a cat and he gets on well with some dogs, but not with others. This problem will be assessed by our trainer prior to rehoming. Alfie pulls a bit on the lead and he is good when off lead. He loves to be outside playing with his ball or going for long walks and getting muddy. He would suit someone who works in an outside environment where he could be there too as he doesn't like being left home alone. He is looking for an experienced owner, with no children. He can guard his own space when in the home and he doesn't like it when new people approach him. It is best to let Alfie go to them for a fuss when he is ready.
