About Duke ~ Ridgeback X (on trial 30/5/19)
Hello my name is Duke, aka “Dukey Duke”. I am a 1year old Ridgeback Cross and still proud to be a big puppy. I have the gentlest personality. I seek love from my people. I am very loyal and love to be around you. At home, I would find my spot, lay there and stay there as long as it is close to you because it is really important to me to be close to my humans.
As a Ridgeback cross, I am pretty tall and because I grew up so fast I am dopey with my body. I have heard it is pretty cute and funny and I make my people laugh very often because I don’t really know what to do with my long legs and big body. I still think I am a small puppy but I am learning. I can live both inside or outside, I am toilet trained.
Because I am a puppy, I love to play. I play a lot with my buddies at home and at the park. I jump and run everywhere with them. I love to play with other dogs too; it is my favourite thing in the world. I make friends with everyone no matter their size and show no sign of aggressive behaviour towards other dogs. All I want is to play, play again and play again all day. I play with dogs but I also play with my humans. I love when they chase me, I love to run with them and I love to pull the rope at home.
Other than playing, I am a very obedient dog and know when I have to be serious and behave. I sit whenever you want me to and I do not pull when you walk me on the leash. I am only a little excited when I know you are about to take me for a walk but I am calm again pretty much straight away. I am very gentle and easy going toward humans, I respect them and only want love from them. I am perfect for a family seeking a first dog but would really suit a family with another dog as well because I tag along with everyone and adjust to any situation easily.
Anyway, here I am, seeking a forever family. Don’t be scared of my height because I don’t take much space and my loving personality overcomes everything. If you come and meet me I can assure you will fall in love straight away.
