About Duke

Duke is an energetic mix of Australian Shepherd and Border Collie, and he’s ready for an active household. At just 7 months old and weighing 29 lbs, he’s a medium-sized pup who thrives on regular exercise. If you’re not up for the challenge of keeping him engaged, he may not be the right fit for you. Duke is great with other dogs and kids, making him a perfect companion for a lively family. However, due to his herding instincts from his breeds, he might try to herd if he gets bored, so keeping him stimulated is key. He is neutered, fully vetted, and heartworm negative. Duke is in the process of adjusting to life indoors, as he spent most of his previous life outside. He’s making good progress on kennel and potty training, and he’s learning to navigate indoor spaces comfortably.
