More about Louie

Louie is a confident and lively dog at Battersea Old Windsor, who loves to use his clever brain.

He has a lovely history from his previous home and was housetrained, travelled well in the car and was happy to greet visitors. Here at Battersea Old Windsor we have seen Louie to be very affectionate- if you sit on the floor with him, he tries to climb onto your lap or will flop his head onto your legs for a stroke of his soft ears.

Despite being affectionate, he is an active dog who will need plenty to keep him busy, both in his mind and body. One of his great loves is tennis balls and he would play for hours if he was able to. Louie can become demanding for his toys and bark at people to throw them so, after a game, we put the toys away and then he will settle happily for a snooze or some other fun training. We look for creative ways to give him his meals to give him something to think about and he works them all out really quickly, so his new owners may enjoy thinking up lots of fun ways to keep Louie engaged and happy. He’s got a great nose and can find a tennis ball anywhere it’s hidden so would excel at scent or search games.

Louie generally likes to keep to himself around other dogs and is very clear if he is uncomfortable. He is not looking for dog friends and will not suit a home that wants to walk with other dogs or have lots of visiting dogs. He should live as the only pet at home and will not enjoy walking in highly dog populated areas. Talking of which, Louie could walk for miles and adores being out and about exploring. He will need his own garden that is fully secure so that he can potter around, and would also enjoy time in secure, private dog fields so that he can really burn off some energy, chase a tennis ball and have lots of relaxing time to sniff.

Louie is a wonderful, comical character who would really suit owners who enjoy the great outdoors and are looking for an intelligent and loving dog to train.
