Alfie

Brave, curious and famously stubborn. Bred to hunt badgers underground — which explains the long body, short legs, and absolute refusal to back down from anything.

One of the world's most ancient and powerful breeds. Loyal to the bone with family, deeply suspicious of strangers. Built to guard flocks in mountain terrain.

Once sacred companions to Chinese emperors. Dignified, independent, and very aware of their own importance. Not a dog that fetches — a dog that watches you fetch.

An ancient herding breed, highly energetic and intelligent. Devoted to their people and always alert. Known for their distinctive wavy black coat.

A rare sighthound built for speed across open plains. Calm and gentle at home, explosive in the field. One of Europe's oldest coursing breeds.

A rugged French scenthound with a shaggy, wolf-like coat. Tough, tenacious, and happiest with a job to do. One of the older French hunting breeds.

Don't let the haircut fool you — Poodles are one of the smartest breeds alive. Athletic, playful, and deeply social. The mini version packs all that into a smaller, spunkier package.

A rare water spaniel from Normandy, cheerful and affectionate. An exceptional swimmer and hunter, now critically rare — Alfie is carrying a piece of living history.
