About Blackie’s Breed:
As a French Bulldog & Chihuahua Mix, Blackie combines the loyalty and affection typical of the breed with a playful, easygoing nature. Chihuahuas are often people-oriented and love to bond deeply with their families, and Blackie is no exception once he feels safe and secure. His mix gives him a friendly and adaptable personality that makes him a wonderful little companion.

Blackie’s Story & Personality:
Blackie may take a little time to trust new people, likely due to his past, but once he bonds, he’s incredibly sweet, loving, and loyal. He enjoys being petted, handled, and spending time with his people. Blackie loves treats, which makes him very trainable, and he’s doing well with his crate training. He has an easygoing play style with dogs and rides nicely in the car. Though not yet tested with kids or cats, his gentle nature suggests he could do well with older children who respect his need for space at first.

Blackie’s Ideal Home:

  • A family who will take him on walks or to the dog park to play!

  • A patient family willing to give him time to trust

  • A home with other dogs or older kids could be a good fit

  • Someone who will continue his house and leash training with kindness

  • He would do well as an apartment dog since he doesn’t need much exercise and loves being a lap dog!
  • Someone who is looking for an affectionate lap dog and loves doggie kisses!
