About Blackbeard

Arrrrrr you looking for the perfect companion??? Look no further matey, Blackbeard is here!!! Blackbeard is a year old Lab/Airdale mix and he's a complete love bug. He gets along with big dogs, small dogs, cats, horses, humans and is small kid friendly. He will lick you for hours. He's about 60 pounds, crate trained, house broken, walks on leash like a gem unless there are other dogs barking (hey, we all have things we can work on, certainly nothing that he needs to walk the plank for!!). Looking for treasure?? Blackbeard is very very curious and wants to search out and play with anything and everything he can get to! He would probably love a fenced in back yard!! He can sit and lay down on command. He is super chill and can relax by your side all day. He loves scratches and ear rubs and even has a ticklish spot! So far he has been left in his crate for 5 hours with no accidents and he sleeps un-crated in the kitchen with his little sister. Shiver me timbers, that's amazing friends!! Yo ho ho and a box of biscuits---Blackbeard also loves to chew on bones and raw hides. He is a little skittish of stairs but with some coaxing I've been able to get him down in the basement. He is the sweetest dog I've ever been around and his young big brown eyes look right into your soul. Blimey! This dog is going to make the perfect companion for a wonderful pirate....errrrr, family!
