Xanthe (On Trial 13/9/14)~ Labrador x Mastiff Pup

Xanthe is a female, 8 week old, Labrador x Mastiff puppy looking for a family to call her own. She is a happy, affectionate and curious puppy who enjoys playing with toys and exploring the garden. She is very well socialised with other dogs as she is living happily with many dogs of all ages and sizes. She hasn't met a cat yet but should be fine as she is young enough to get used to them. She's a very handsome, unusual looking puppy. She is such a cutie! She has a soft black coat with white blaze on her chest and big paws.

Xanthe is used to being allowed inside when people are home so she can enjoy feeling part of the family. She should sleep inside, at least until she is fully grown. She likes to nap outside in a kennel during the day.

Xanthe will grow up to be a large dog so her new home will need 6ft colourbond fencing or good paling fences of similar height (not rural fencing such as mesh or wire). Padlocks are necessary to prevent dog theft. It'd be great if there was someone that doesn't work full time, such as a stay at home mum, or someone who works from home or is retired.

Xanthe would love to have another medium or large dog for company and to teach her new things. She's not be suitable for children under 5 years of age as she might accidently knock them over.

We always recommend puppy-training classes to give your new family member the best start in life. Xanthe is available for adoption to the following areas: Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Central Coast and Port Stephens. She is not available for Interstate adoption.
