Duke Labrador Retriever Wake Forest, NC

The name carries a connotation of regal and handsome, not a wonder why this young black lab dude was donned Duke when he arrived. Duke is about 1-2 years old and approximately 45 lbs full grown which places him on the smaller side which will appeal to lots of lab lovers. Duke brings all of the things we love about labs in a smaller package. Athletic, smart, active and loyal all describe this amazing young guy who will become like your shadow before the blink of an eye. He would be an ideal family member of any kind as long as there is regular activity and exercise involved as well as lots of snuggles and love. He is a little on the shy side still, as things at the farm and in suburbia are relatively new to this guy who has probably been a stray most of his life. But boy does he do shy cute, with lots of tail wags and a gentle and slow approach, it is clear that all he wants is one small fraction of the adoration he has to give to come back to him. Duke would be great with another dog to help him build confidence but will also do so on his own with companionship and even activities like basic training and socialization with his peeps. So, ring in the new year with a dude as handsome as Harry or William but a ton more snuggly and adoring!
