Meet Duke – A Sweet, Loyal Pup Looking for His Perfect Place to Shine
Duke is a handsome, energetic 1-year-old pup (he turned one in December) with so much love to give and potential to grow. He’s a devoted companion who absolutely adores his people—especially our three young daughters—and he’s incredibly sweet and gentle with them. Duke is affectionate, smart, and has a playful, adventurous spirit.
He gets along wonderfully with our female Bernese Mountain Dog and thrives when he has a doggy friend who’s calm and confident. While he’s been a great part of our family, we’ve learned that Duke really needs a more suitable environment to truly thrive. He’s become a bit too protective of our home and doesn’t get along well with the neighboring male dogs. He was neutered in March, and while that helped somewhat, Duke still needs structure, training, and the right kind of space.
What Duke really needs is room to roam, a purpose, and a strong, confident leader. He would absolutely thrive in a home with acreage or even better—a farm! He loves being outside, staying busy, and having space to explore. If you're looking for a loyal, intelligent dog to join you on your outdoor adventures or be a part of your daily routine on a property, Duke might be your perfect match.
💛 What Makes Duke Special:
Extremely loving and loyal to his family
Great with children
Good with female dogs
Still young and very trainable with the right guidance
Eager to work, play, and have a purpose
🏡 Duke’s Ideal Home:
Rural setting with acreage or a farm
No male dogs (or managed introductions only)
An experienced dog owner who can provide strong leadership and consistency
Lots of outdoor time and mental stimulation
📍 We’re located in Anacortes, WA, and we’re committed to finding the perfect home for this sweet boy.
Duke has so much potential and love to give—he just needs the right setting and the right person to help him thrive. If you think you might be that person, please reach out. We’d love to tell you more about him.
