Description
Dog Breed: Rottweiler / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: $400. Online Adoption Application › Willow is an absolute sweetheart! She loves other dogs and people. She is housetrained and crate trained. She's a beautiful girl with a docked tail and longer fur. Her markings are stunning. She has a slight limp but doesn't let it slow her down. Willow likes playing tug of war and with her favorite Teddy bear stuffy. She is starting to show interest in tennis balls too. Her temperament is absolutely perfect and she will be amazing given proper decompression time. Willow is looking for a home with a dominant owner, someone a little more experienced with setting boundaries and sticking with them. Even a home with just one person as she seems to get attached easily and want to protect "her person". She is dog friendly and cat friendly though and would enjoy playtime with another furry friend. Willow's foster is working on sit/stay commands with her. Willow can be a little stubborn, she identifies as a teenager trying to push boundaries at times. Willow enjoys car rides and is great in the back seat but once that car stops she wants to jump into your lap. She says, "No way are you leaving me in this car!" She wants her person to be where she is and will follow you around the house from room to room but her foster is teaching her that its ok to be alone at times. Willow needs a little crate time to have that "timeout" not as a punishment but as her safe place. She loves her crate and goes in easily. Willow is heartworm negative and up to date on all medical! She really likes her chicken flavored dog food, was not a fan of the duck. She has not missed many meals however as she is a hefty 78lbs and ready to give you all her loyalty and love!

Breed overview
Overview:
The Labrottie, a captivating crossbreed of the Labrador Retriever and Rottweiler, originated from the desire to combine the best traits of both parent breeds. These medium-to-large dogs typically inherit a sturdy, athletic build with a short, dense coat that can vary in color from black and brown to yellow or chocolate, often with Rottweiler-like markings. Temperamentally, Labrotties are known for being loyal, intelligent, and often possess a playful yet protective nature, making them excellent family companions. Early socialization and consistent training are crucial to harness their intelligence and ensure they are well-adjusted. While adaptable, their size and energy levels mean they are generally not well-suited for apartment living, thriving instead in homes with ample space and a yard. Health considerations can include those common to their parent breeds, such as hip and elbow dysplasia, certain cancers, and heart conditions, so responsible breeding practices and regular veterinary care are essential for a long, healthy life.
