Character and nature

Alvin is a very sociable, charming and utterly lovable little boy. He loves attention and adores being petted and fussed over — and he shows his affection with lots of kisses and his beautiful smile.

He absolutely loves playing fetch and chasing after a ball.

He may be a little shy with new people at first, but he soon gains trust and makes friends regardless of age or gender. He really enjoys being petted and is especially kind and gentle with children.

Alvin is also very sociable with other dogs — thanks to his open, playful nature, he usually starts playing and romping around with them straight away.

Daily life and behaviour

Alvin’s story

Alvin’s mother gave birth to eight beautiful puppies in a very unsuitable environment. The family was rescued and has since been living in a loving, safe home until a suitable, caring family is found for Alvin and each of his siblings.

Alvin’s ideal home

Alvin is looking for a loving home where he is welcomed as a full member of the family. People who enjoy spending time with him, keeping him busy, playing with him and giving him lots of affection would suit his sociable, playful nature perfectly.
