Duke is a 9 month old male Rhodesian Ridgeback Cross. He is a strong boy with lots of mental and physical energy to burn. Duke is currently just over 30kg and will likely gain at least another 10kg.
However, around the right people he can be a very respectful and calm boy. He hasn’t an ounce of aggression with people, in fact sometimes his love for people can sometimes be too much. He will take advantage of a soft natured person and can become disrespectful, for example jumping up with a lot of enthusiasm and not listening when corrected.
He is a young lad with so much potential to grow into a well behaved young man, in the right home. He would not be suitable for first time dog owners and needs a home where owners are used to handling large dogs.
Duke is dog friendly. In fact he would be ideal to live with a balanced female dog but this isn’t a must. Duke could like with cats that could cope with his energy bursts. A strong willed person or couple with no children would be ideal.
Duke would need to get used to being home alone if needed as he does show some signs of separation anxiety. A home without children is preferred. He will thrive in the right home.
