Adoption information
About Noir - 14 Week Old Labrador X French Mastiff
Noir is a 3-month-old female French Mastiff / Labrador mixed breed puppy, born on 31/12/25.
She is a very healthy, happy little puppy who has been well socialised with both puppies and adult dogs (small and large), and gets along beautifully with them all. Noir has also met lots of people and is friendly, affectionate, and confident.
Noir absolutely loves being around other dogs and people. She’s a cuddly girl who enjoys following you around and curling up beside you on the couch.
Noir’s parents were a French Mastiff / Labrador – German Shepherd mixed pairing, so she is expected to grow into an extra large dog. She is already quite a big puppy and may exceed 50kg as an adult. Her future family must be prepared for everything that comes with owning a large breed — including space, strength, time, and the cost of feeding a large dog.
Noir sleeps indoors and thrives on being part of the family, so she is looking for a home where she will get plenty of companionship and not be left alone for long periods.
She is still learning the basics in foster care, including toilet training, leash walking, and general obedience. Her new owner will need to be committed to continuing her training and investing time early on to help her become a well-mannered adult dog. Ongoing exposure to different environments, people, and other dogs will be especially important given her future size.
We always recommend puppy training classes to give your new family member the best possible start in life.
As Noir will be a tall, strong adult dog, she will require a securely fenced yard with fencing of at least 5ft.
Noir is looking for a committed, loving home where her adopters understand the needs of a large breed dog and are ready to include her as a valued member of the family. If you can offer Noir the time, training, and companionship she needs to thrive, we would love to hear from you.
Noir's adoption fee is $800 which includes her desexing when she is old enough. It also includes her first two vaccinations. She has been treated for fleas and worms, and is microchipped.
Noir is in foster care in Clarence Town, NSW. Since she is not yet desexed, she is only available for adoption to the Lower Hunter region (Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, Maitland and Cessnock) plus Central Coast and Sydney. She will need to be returned to one of our approved vets for desexing when she's 5 to 6 months old.
