Billie

🐾 Meet Billie – Lapdog-at-Heart in a Big Dog Body! 🐾

If you’ve ever dreamed of a big, goofy cuddlebug who thinks she’s the size of a chihuahua… Billie is your girl!

Billie is bursting with personality, playfulness, and love. Her daily agenda? A mix of fetch, tug-o-war, chasey, and following her favourite humans around like their furry shadow. She’ll happily run and play for hours, then climb right into your lap for some well-earned snuggles—yes, she still thinks she’s a lapdog!

💚 Things Billie LOVES:

Sitting on your lap, no matter the size difference

Rough play with doggy friends

Chasing balls and playing tug

Following you around like your biggest (literally) fan

Her crate (it’s her cosy safe space during noisy moments)

Billie’s home? One with a backyard to zoom around in—or someone who’s keen on daily walks and park adventures. She’s great with kids but, let’s be honest, sometimes forgets she’s not a featherweight… so slightly older children might be a better match.

She’s grown up with a small kelpie and LOVES a good game of chasey with dogs who match her energy. Billie can be unsure around small dogs and new pups, so slow intros are the key to her success. With patient socialisation and guidance, her confidence grows beautifully.

🏠 Billie is crate trained, walks well on lead, and rides like a pro in the car. She knows a few tricks—sit, shake, high-five, heel (especially next to a pram!) and her signature move: the lap leap cuddle.

👀 She may bark or growl at unknown men at the door (especially those in hoodies!), but she warms up quickly and always sticks close to her chosen human. Billie thrives with someone confident and kind who can help her navigate the big, exciting world.

🎾 Medium energy
👧 Kid-friendly (best with older kids)
🐶 Dog-social
📚 Smart and trainable
❤️ Affectionate and loyal

Billie’s looking for a family who will let her be her silly, sweet self—and give her a lap (or three) to land on!
