Description:
Duke is a handsome, large collie with a heart to match. He’s confident, curious and full of personality. Duke enjoys the company of other dogs and would thrive either with a compatible canine companion or as the center of attention as an only dog because he loves people. He is naturally watchful and alert. Whether there’s a visitor at the door or a squirrel passing through the yard, Duke is happy to keep his family in the loop. He enjoys car rides (and hops in all on his own) and he walks nicely on a leash. He knows a few basic cues like “come,” “sit,” and “no,” and is eager to learn new ones.
Duke would be a great fit for an active family that enjoys engaging with their dog. He would love nothing more than to tag along with whatever his human wants to do and, when you get to your destination, he will plop down and look regal or fall asleep. He has a good energy level and he’s a stable dog. He would make a good walking companion and, while not a good running partner, he could handle moderate hikes on sturdy trails. He’s intelligent, affectionate and thrives with structure and companionship. He is happy to be with his person but is also content to watch from a distance. A home with someone around often, or an experienced dog owner, will help Duke continue to grow into the wonderful companion he’s meant to be. Duke’s loyal and spirited collie nature will truly shine with his forever family.
