Here's what the humans have to say about me:
💅 Meet BB (aka Boss Babe)
BB (originally “Big Bertha,” but we prefer Boss Babe 💁♀️) is a 1.5-year-old shepherd/pittie mix (DNA test pending because she likes to keep things mysterious) with a big personality and main-character energy.
She spent over 3 months in shelter and is very ready to be someone’s center of attention.
BB can look a little serious at first, but once you get to know her, she’s playful, silly, and very engaged with her people.
Her play style is best described as: professional button-pusher. She loves to try to start roughhousing with medium-to-large dogs, and if she gets corrected, she actually takes it well — she’ll try again with less intensity, then either wander off or come check in with her human.
She’s:
✅ Best suited for medium to large dog friends
🚧 Currently small-dog interactions are gated-only due to her enthusiastic play style
🍪 Very food and praise motivated
🛁 Good for baths and nail trims (a little dramatic, but cooperative)
🐦 Not bothered by birds and will chase a running cat, but mostly ignores calm, aloof cats
She’s still working on:
🐕 Leash manners (strong, excited, and ready to see the world)
🏠 Barrier feelings (sometimes hesitant to come inside, barks at dogs behind fences or crates, but settles)
📦 Crate time (goes in, complains briefly, then settles in about 5 minutes)
She may alert bark at people behind barriers, but redirects easily and settles nicely.
BB is not a beginner dog, but for someone who likes training, structure, and a dog with opinions and sparkle, she’s going to be a really fun, rewarding companion.
If you’re looking for a confident, spicy, Boss Babe who keeps life interesting and gives you a dog to do things with, BB might be your girl. 💅🐾
