About Charlie

Charlie is a 5-year-old male Morkie with a delightful temperament that balances energy and calmness. This house-trained companion thrives on human interaction and will reward your love with unwavering loyalty.

Personality Traits

• Sociable and gentle with a vibrant energy
• Great with children and enjoys interactive play
• House-trained and well-behaved indoors
• Comfortable with people and forms bonds quickly
• Enjoys cuddling and will happily settle on your lap
• Playful nature – even enjoys dressing up in T-shirts and “dancing”

Exercise Needs

Charlie loves his freedom and requires regular walks to maintain his happiness. His exercise routine should include:

• Daily walks which he gets very excited about
• Off-leash time in secure areas where he can run freely
• Interactive play to stimulate his mind and body

Living Arrangements

Charlie adapts well to home life but has some specific requirements:

• Does well with other dogs when introduced properly, especially off-leash
• Not suitable for homes with cats
• Needs company as he can become lonely and depressed when left alone for extended periods
• Responds well to routine and familiar surroundings

Special Considerations

Other Dogs

Charlie has some particular behaviors around other dogs. When on-leash, he may growl at passing dogs, displaying protective behavior toward his family. With larger dogs entering his space, especially when they’re unleashed, he can become defensive. However, when off-leash himself, he typically interacts well with other canines.

Daily Habits

Charlie exhibits excitement by barking when he sees his leash, signaling his enthusiasm for walks. Importantly, he doesn’t bark when left alone, making him suitable for apartments or neighborhoods with noise restrictions.

Grooming

One quirk to note is that Charlie dislikes water, including bath time. His grooming routine will require patience and positive reinforcement.

Is Charlie Right For You?

Charlie would thrive in a home where:

• Someone is present for most of the day
• Regular walks and playtime are part of the routine
• There are no cats
• His new family understands his protective nature around other dogs
• There’s plenty of lap time available for cuddles
