I spent some time with Duke today, and he seems to be settling in OK.  When he first arrived, he backed away in to the corner of his kennel when I looked in, but after a few minutes came over to say hello and have some treats.  Today he bounced up to the gate to see me for cuddles and a few treats which he took very gently and with nice sits.  As soon as he saw I had a lead with me, he got really excited, and we enjoyed a walk around the farm.  He does pull a bit on his lead, but that's something to work on.  He is showing his nice nature and temperment and that he's just a big soft boy.

Duke went out for a nice walk last night with a new pal..... fellow Brummy Miko. He was very keen to try and play, and he is getting better every day.

thats my big boy!!

time is all this guy needed now he has all the time in the world thanks to you guys.

Scooby took the big man out for a walk today, and showed him the ropes. He wanted to play, and still has no manners on the lead, but will learn off "ol Stooge"  

How is the lovely Duke coming along.

He is coming very well, just trying to get over his pulling etc on the lead.
