| Duke is a male Bullmastiff born 17/12/07
He has come in through no fault of his own or his owners, sometimes life can throw some cruel blows to us and they had no choice but to give him up
What they have told us about him,
Lovely temperament but can be nervous of some strangers and can take him time to come around but he is not aggressive
He has lived with older children (we will not home him with children under 10 years of age)
He loves cuddles, treats, his paws being tickled, tummy rubs he also loves running in fields and going for walks
He does not like Hoovers, postman or dustman so we will work on this
Care needs to be taken if front door is open as he will take himself out so again this is something we will work on along with him pulling on the lead,
He will be castrated on Sunday
Photos to follow

| Walked Duke last night. He is such a lovey boy. He really enjoys getting out and sniffing the night air. He pulled a little on the lead but was easily corrected. He definately responds to treats Duke is interested in the other dogs, wagging his tail, especially his mate Kane, who seems to be his bestest friend Whoever takes Duke into their home will be very lucky indeed. | |
