About

Please meet Miss Luna, a sweet-natured and affectionate Great Dane/Mastiff born in 2020.

The GD/Mastiff cross is sometimes referred to as a “Daniff“ or a “Mastidane“.

Whatever label you want to use, these dogs are smart and playful.

They are renowned for being loyal and affectionate, which makes them ideal companions and family dogs, especially for families with older, active children.

As far as Daniffs go, Luna is on the small side, as you can probably tell from the photos.

She has a gorgeous grey and white coat and her smile is from ear to ear.

On the day the photos were taken, she had just arrived in care with the three puppies remaining from her very large litter. We were surprised at how gentle and accommodating she was in the midst of a whole lot of strangers.

She had one eye on the pups and one eye on the camera.

Such a lovely girl and so striking in appearance.

Dog and people friendly, Luna would be just as happy in a household with a large family as she would in a one-person home.

She is untested with cats and is not suitable to a home with horses.

To be happy and content, Luna will need an abundance of love and attention, along with daily exercise and plenty of mental stimulation, especially while she’s young.

If you are interested in meeting her, please complete the online adoption application at southerndownsark.com.au/apply-to-adopt/ and one of our volunteers will be in touch.

Luna’s adoption fee is $550.

She is microchipped and vaccinated.

At the point of adoption, she will be desexed.

Preference will be given to a home where someone is around most of the time and where Luna will get the training, socialisation and care she needs to reach her full potential.

Prior experience with large breeds will be well regarded.

She is not suited to full-time workers or small children.

As always, secure fencing is essential.

Luna is available for interstate adoption.
