Rouge is a beautiful apricot bred by Deb Lacelle, Lacelles Mastiffs in Ontario, Canada. We co-own Rouge with Eileen Durante of Celestial Mastiffs. Rouge spent her first 3 years living in the country with her until Eileen passed away. Rouge has done a fantastic job adjusting to life in a busy household with kids and we could not love her any more.
Rouge is a solid, tanky girl with a wonderful personality and absolutely no idea she is a giant dog. Fall asleep on our couch at your peril — she has been known to sit on the head the unsuspecting sleeper! Rouge has participated in the AKC Meet the Breeds in New York City where she greeted over thirty-nine thousand people. She has slowly gotten into showing with us and seems to be enjoying herself. We are hoping to get her out more in the coming months!

We lost Rouge today
Rouge was 2 years old when she came to live with us after Eileen passed away. We had 6 fabulous years with her and would greedily ask for 6 more
She was a bull in a china shop — when she wanted to sit with you she really meant sit on you and she didn’t need your lap, sitting on your head would do just fine
She was a bossy girl — she was known to take toys away from Bones and Spock, not because she wanted the toy but because she wanted them to be quiet
She was incredibly gentle — Veronica taught Rouge to take food from her mouth and somehow despite using the girls for pillows she never crushed them
She was not a kisser — she would take her face and press it against yours, we called it face hugs
She was a quiet girl — but we always heard her when she had something to say
She was a beautiful girl — she was a wonderful apricot with a deep black mask and the softest fur I have ever petted
She was loved
Rouge was many things but mostly she was a bit part of our family and we will miss her. It’s hard to lose Bones, Spock and now Rouge so close together.
This is the first time in 21 years that we don’t have a dog in the house. It’s already too quiet
