About Blair (Billie)

Meet Blair, who also answers to Billie! This 16-week-old Lab/Pit mix is a bundle of curiosity, sweetness, and fearless exploration. Billie is convinced everyone she meets is her new best friend, and it's hard not to fall in love with her big personality. She’s a playful pup who loves to investigate everything and is always ready for an adventure. You might even catch her climbing and jumping like a tiny billy goat – that’s how she earned her nickname! She loves to "talk" to her people and is happiest when she’s by your side as your loyal sidekick. Billie is smart, eager to please, and already has a great start on her training. She loves watching TV, will keep you laughing, and is sure to fill your life with love. Billie is expected to grow into a large dog and will thrive in a home ready to embrace her adventurous spirit.

Ideal Home

A home where someone is around more often than not to guide her and help channel her big personality. She needs a family ready to embrace her bold, adventurous spirit and keep up with all the fun she brings. She is fantastic with other dogs and would likely do well with respectful children who understand puppy energy and boundaries.

Ongoing Health

Blair and her siblings had a skin condition causing some hair loss, but they have fully recovered and are in the healing phase as their coats grow back. This does not slow her down and her coat should fill in beautifully.

Training & Support

Billie is a quick learner and comes when called, sits on command, and takes treats gently. She is about 80% potty trained and will alert you when she needs to go. She is comfortable in her crate for short periods and sleeps through the night. She is also gaining confidence on leash. Like any puppy, she will need continued structure, guidance, and consistency as she grows.
