Toot too too toot! Trumpets blare! All hail, the grand "Duke" of Minnesota! Prepare yourself to meet this majestic boy, as he truly deserves the royal treatment. Duke came into rescue with bones sticking out, porcupine quills sticking in, and a wish for the finer things in life - like a soft bed and a good squeaky ball! He has since put on some weight, glossed out his coat, and had a bunch of quills removed. He also gets those finer things!
Ideal Home
Just like any "royal", Duke wants his voice to be heard, and will let you know his opinions on being left out of important family meetings, play sessions, or the neighbor's disc golf game. He is vocal and should not go to a home with shared walls. Duke gets along great with the resident dogs, and enjoys playing with the resident pups (25lb 9mo male, 75lb 6yo female) and mostly ignores the cats, although he can use the occasional reminder they are friends.
Ongoing Health

Training & Support
Duke does know "kennel", "sit", and "paw" and is doing really well learning "stay". Duke does ok on walks, sometimes reacting to other dogs with his big bark, but is pretty easily corrected. However, with how big and strong he is, he could use some help learning even better manners. He is super treat motivated, so this should be easy!
