If you’re looking for a cheerful, clever, people-loving companion who greets every visitor with a toy hedgehog proudly in his mouth… then say hello to Bertie. This adorable boy wins hearts the second he waddles over, toy in tow, ready to welcome you into his world.
🐶 Personality
Bertie is a happy, sociable little chap who loves meeting new people and dogs while out on his twice-daily walks. He’s brilliant with most dogs, big or small, but he’s not the biggest fan of Westies or Frenchies—everyone has their preferences, right?
Once settled, he’ll happily snuggle up beside you on the sofa or your chair. He can be a bit cheeky and will sometimes try to grab your feet if they’re off the floor, but it’s all part of his quirky charm.
He’s also got a streak of stubbornness… but it just makes him even more endearing.
🌱 Confidence & Training
Bertie is fully house-trained and knows basic commands such as sit, paw, stop, wait, come. His recall isn’t reliable yet, so he’s never been off lead. A secure field would be perfect to help him burn off extra energy and practice safely.
He hasn’t lived with stairs before, but we’re sure he’ll pick it up quickly—he’s a clever lad.
🚫 Sensitivities
This little fluffball does not like loud noises such as fireworks, motorbikes, or e-scooters. He also doesn’t enjoy having a finger pointed at him, so gentle handling is important.
🛏️ Home Life
Bertie loves the garden, loves a game of fetch, and will happily play alone or with anyone willing to join in.
He sleeps next to the bed at night but jumps up for a 10-minute goodnight cuddle before settling himself on his dog bed. During the day, he alternates between his bed and the sofa for naps.
He travels fabulously in the car and has no issues eating around other dogs—no guarding, no fussing. He’s also not particularly food-motivated, so treats don’t sway him much.
🏡 What Bertie Needs
Bertie can live as an only dog or with another friendly dog.
He can live with children 8+ who understand when he needs quiet time.
Bertie is not keen on cats tested and hasn’t met small furries.
More than anything, Bertie is dreaming of an active family who will take him on adventures, include him in their fun, and enjoy his sweet, silly, toy-carrying ways.
