Meet Blair — also known as Billie — a big personality packed into one very cute, black-and-white puppy. At 16 weeks old, this Lab/Pit mix is expected to grow into a large dog. She’s bold, curious, sweet, and convinced everyone is her friend. Billie earned her nickname because she climbs and jumps off things like a tiny billy goat, fully committed to whatever mission she’s decided is important that day. She loves to play, loves to "talk" to you, and is happiest when she’s by your side as your little walking buddy and loyal sidekick. She's the kind of puppy who will keep you laughing, smiling, and feeling loved every single day. Blair is expected to grow into a large dog and will need a family ready to embrace her bold, adventurous spirit and keep up with all the fun she brings. If you’re looking for a brave, hilarious, loving puppy with a huge personality and an even bigger heart, Blair (Billie) is ready to make your life a whole lot more fun.
Ideal Home
Billie would do best in a home where someone is around more often than not to guide her, engage her, and help channel her big personality into becoming a well-rounded adult dog. She has been fantastic with other dogs and currently lives with a seven-year-old Golden Retriever who she plays with all the time. She hasn’t been around cats or children yet, but she would likely do well with respectful kids who understand puppy energy and boundaries.
Ongoing Health
Blair and her siblings came into rescue dealing with a skin condition that caused some hair loss, but they’ve fully recovered and are now just in the healing phase while their coats grow back in. It doesn’t slow her down one bit, and her coat should fill back in beautifully in no time.
Training & Support
Billie is incredibly smart and already ahead of the curve for her age. She comes when called, sits on command (and happily for treats), and has a soft mouth when taking food. She’s about 80% potty trained and will even let you know when she needs to go if she’s in her playpen or kennel. She’s comfortable in a crate for short periods and has had about nine consecutive nights with no accidents, sleeping from 9 PM to 5:30 AM in an open playpen. She’s also doing well on leash and building confidence more every day. Like any puppy, she’ll still need continued structure, guidance, and consistency as she grows, but she’s off to an amazing start.
