If you're looking for a puppy who's equal parts brains, beauty, and best friend material, Bellona just might be the one you've been waiting for! At just 4 months old, this adorable Pit Terrier/Labrador Retriever mix is already showing what an incredible companion she's going to become. She has a thoughtful, independent personality but still loves all the fun that comes with being a puppy. Bellona is observant, eager to learn, and always seems ready for the next challenge. She absolutely loves attention and affection from her people, but she's also confident enough to entertain herself when needed, offering a wonderful balance of independence and companionship.
Ideal Home
Bellona would thrive in a home that can offer patience, consistency, and plenty of love as she continues to grow. Because she can be enthusiastic when greeting people, families with young children should be prepared to reinforce polite manners and supervised interactions. She has not been introduced to cats, so slow, supervised introductions would be recommended.
Ongoing Health
Bellona is a healthy young puppy and has no known ongoing health conditions.
Training & Support
Bellona is incredibly eager to learn and is already showing a great aptitude for training. She knows how to sit and has quickly learned commands like "paw," "lay down," and "stay." She is highly food motivated, which makes training enjoyable and rewarding. She is doing an amazing job with potty and crate training and follows a structured routine. Like many puppies, she is working on impulse control, especially around meal times, and has made wonderful progress in learning to wait for her food. She is learning how to interact appropriately with other dogs and will benefit from continued guidance and positive reinforcement to develop good manners.
