Blair, 64 lbs approx 3 yr old female Staffordshire Terrier mix. Foster mom says " She is a handful sometimes, and then a lover the next. You can't help but love her" Blair would do great with a fun-loving active family, she may be a bit much for the very young or old as she is a bit of a bull in a china shop when it comes to personal space. Good with dogs- slow intro at first, no cats. She can be timid upon meeting new people, treats help this process, once trust is established she will be your best friend. She enjoys car rides, chew toys and nyla bones. Blair is crate trained, but can be vocal at times about it. At this time she is similar to a puppy for housebreaking, she is fine the majority of the time, but if there is a lot of excitement or activity she will need reminding to go out. Blair and her adopter would benefit from some basic obedience classes to ensure that she can be the best girl ever! If you are interested in learning more about Blair, please send us a private message with your phone number.
