Duke is a love bug male Terrier/Chihuahua mix, born 7/8/2012. This big love bug is just that, he is full of cuddles and rubs. He loves to play with you or chew on his cow hoove. Duke does not really like being around other dogs, he wants you to himself, but he will tolerate them. We think that he was kept outdoors most of the time because he will not stay outside for long periods of time without you; he loves being in the house with you and his family. Duke will just come up to you and lie next to your feet and hope to get some loving from you; he really is hoping to get his belly rubs. Duke is just starving for love and attention and he really deserves it because he is a great dog; we do not think that he got much of it before. He sleeps well in his crate and loves to sleep near your bed. He is housetrained on the potty pads and always uses them, but he will also go outside using the doggy door. If you have children he would like them to be 10 years of age or older so that they will not be so rough on him. He does not like to be left at home all day alone, being alone for a few hours would be fine or a stay at home parent would be great for him, or even another dog. Duke was extremely heavy when we got him and he has lost a lot of weight, just playing in the backyard with his foster or the other dogs. He has learned how to walk with a leash, but he needs a harness on him or he will pull the collar right over his neck. Duke is ready to go to his new home and get lots of love from you and in return you will get more love then you ever would want. SECURE FENCING REQUIRED FOR ALL OF OUR RESCUED DOGS.
