Hi! I'm Duke. I'd like to tell you a little bit about myself. I'm a good, good boy. Some people call me, A Gentle Giant. I think what this refers to is a combination of my size and my temperament. Regarding my size, I'm 59 pounds right now, but the people here are trying to put a little more meat on my tall frame.
Now, for my temperament. I take treats nicely; I have a soft mouth. I jump a bit but mostly know to stay down, though this is nothing a little training can't solve. I'm a happy and friendly young fur-boy. I meet people nicely. You will probably say, "He's such a good, good boy" when you meet me.
I really love to lean against you while you pet me. I like touch and am fine being touched all over, You can touch my tail, the pads of my paws, under my armpits, whatever. I am gentle and tolerant. I am playful too. I know how to play fetch and I love it! I play fetch with balls and squeak toys and plushie toys. Throw a toy for me and I will chase it and then bring it right back to you and drop it at your feet. I like to go for walks. I already have decent leash-walking skills; I don't pull. You will be very pleased and proud when you take me out for a walk in the neighborhood.
I am in search of a family of my very own. Are you the one for me? Come meet me and let's find out. Love, Duke
(Duke's date of birth is November of 2018, and he is 59 pounds.)
