Duke is thought to be about a year and a half or so old. His family gave him up because they moved to a place where they couldn’t keep him. We can tell he hasn’t had the socialization and experiences that develop a sense of confidence, because when in new surroundings he can be nervous and come off aggressive. But once he knows his place and people he is a real lovebug!
He is unique in appearance with a wiry brindle coat that will be easy to maintain. He will need training and a fenced yard, as he has lots of energy. He seems okay around other dogs, but we can’t say how he would do with cats or small animals. We also wouldn’t recommend him around small children. However, older children who can help with his training would probably be okay.
