Astrid

Delightful Astrid 😊

At just 9 weeks old, this beautiful girl has already shown us what a confident, smart and well mannered little pup she is. ❤️

She is a Mastiff x Labrador, so adopters need to be prepared for her to grow into a large, strong dog. While she is an easy little puppy now, the work put into her during these early months will play a huge part in the adult dog she becomes.

She is great with other dogs and has also met cats. The cats have very quickly told her who is boss, and she has listened and respected their boundaries 😂

She has spent time with children of all ages and is a really lovely mix of fun, confidence and responsiveness. She enjoys playing and exploring, but she is also switched on and eager to learn.

As with all puppies, she is still very young and will need continued work with toilet training, lead walking, appropriate chewing, boundaries, socialisation and learning how to spend time alone. Puppies don't arrive knowing how to fit perfectly into our lives, and consistency now is what helps create a well rounded adult dog.

Puppy school will be a requirement for her adoption, and we would love to see her continue with obedience training afterwards. At her age she is right in the important socialisation period, so positive exposure to different people, animals, environments, sounds and experiences is incredibly valuable. ❤️

She's had a fantastic start and now we're looking for a family who will put in the work to make sure she grows into the amazing adult dog we know she can be. 🐾❤️

🏡 HOME REQUIREMENTS

Because she will be a large dog (approx 30-40kg) we are looking for a home with a secure, grassed yard where she has room to play, explore and stretch her legs.

She must have secure, appropriate height fencing with no gaps or areas she can easily escape from as she grows.

She will also need a proper covered outdoor area such as a patio or pergola that provides protection from the sun and weather. A kennel on its own does not meet this requirement.

She is not suited to a home where she will spend the majority of her life outside. She needs to be included as part of the family, with plenty of interaction, enrichment, training and love.
