More about Duke

Say a woof and wow at the beautiful Boerboel, Duke!

This big friendly giant has a great history and good basics due to the dedication of his previous owner. Such as being fully house trained, and a wonderful sit! He loves people and gets a lot from human interaction but can get quite excited and needs gentle reminders not to jump up!

Duke will need a home with a private garden for burning off all his energy, and would be best suited to a home with multiple people to support his ongoing training. He is a smart and playful boy who is eager to please - he does not quite realise that lap dogs are not meant to be over 40 kilos!

Change seems to be a trigger for Duke and he found his initial few weeks with us very stressful, demonstrating humping behaviours towards people and dogs. Although the behaviour towards people has all but gone, we are still sending him home with the recommendations for him to stay on lead when out and about and therefore will need experienced large breed dog owners who understand all the quirks that come with a dog of his size and temperament.
