This little guy had a long day, but he was still and enthusiastic enough!

My question is how can I get rid of the noise in he's black fur?
I cropped a bit and spent a minute working the RAW file

I use LightZone and working on "Grain Noise" of the "Noise Reduction" tool seems to get rid of most of those white dots. If pushed too far, it also tends to get rid of some of the fur texture.

This question might get more responses in the "Post-Processing Digital Images" forum.

Topaz has a plug-in called DeJpeg that I find works well with this problem. Uses sliders to control the depth of effects.

Neil, I suspect the ISO 800 has something to do with the noise in the dark areas.

The biggest problem is the colour noise in the dark fur. I tried getting rid of it using Lightroom's colour de-noise to the max but it wasn't enough. I resorted to selecting the fur and de-saturating quite a bit and shifting WB into blue and shifting the Tint slider into magenta a little bit (to make up for the loss of colour caused by the desaturating). That sorted the coat of many colours and gave the opportunity to do some targeted editing of the fur's light levels.
