About Duke

Meet Duke! This handsome 2-year-old, approximately 58 lb boy is a delightful mix, possibly Golden Retriever and Gordon Setter, with a retriever's coat and a gentle face. Duke is a sensitive soul with a loyal heart. He might be a little shy when you first meet him, but give him a moment, and his sweet, loving nature shines through. He's incredibly tolerant and forms deep attachments, making him a devoted companion.

Ideal Home

Duke thrives in a calm environment with a predictable routine. While he enjoys company, too much chaos can overwhelm him. He would love a home with at least one trusted canine friend, but a large pack isn't necessary. A dedicated space of his own, like a spacious crate in a common area, would be a wonderful addition for him to relax and decompress. He is also kid-friendly and dog-friendly, showing respect for other dogs' boundaries.

Ongoing Health

No specific health concerns were mentioned for Duke.

Training & Support

Duke is house-trained, though he may need a few reminders as he settles into a new home. He walks well on a leash and is eager to learn and connect with his humans. Duke is athletic and intelligent, and his adoption includes group training classes to help build his confidence and strengthen your bond. Due to his ability to jump high fences, continued recall training and a strong bond are essential for his safety.
