About Louie

Meet Louie, your ultimate Velcro companion! This purebred Chihuahua is only 6 months old and is the definition of a loyal sidekick. Louie adores being close to his humans, whether lounging on the couch, accompanying you around the house, or simply enjoying quiet moments together. His affectionate nature shines through, making him a perfect lap warmer. Louie is already fully house trained and sleeps peacefully in his crate at night. He can be a bit nervous at times, leading to occasional minor submissive peeing, but a belly band helps manage that easily. He's a model citizen in the car and loves visiting dog-friendly places, behaving impeccably in public. Socially, Louie is great with dogs his size and has no problem cohabiting with cats. His eagerness to please makes training a breeze; he comes running when called and stays close during outdoor playtime. While he’s gentle and not food aggressive, Louie is still learning to trust men, showing a bit of shyness around them. With a patient owner who understands small dog body language, he can build confidence over time. Louie is a sweet and deeply affectionate puppy ready to share his love with someone special.
