You’ll be talking about the Holstein pups until the cows come home! Meet Duke, a delightful puppy with a heart full of joy. Duke and his brothers Earl, Apple, and Ferdinand and sisters Nellie, Elsie, Bessie, and Dottie can’t wait to meet you! We are thinking these sweet playful pups are a Border Collie mix. This goofy, gentle soul brings laughter and warmth to everyone around him. Duke's intelligence shines through in his quick learning and clever play. He adores playing with kids, making friends with other dogs, and is interested in cats in a playful way. His playful spirit and sweet nature make every day brighter. Duke is described as an active and playful pup. Being just puppies, the Holstein litter will have so much to learn! They'll need house training, crate training and will need to learn to walk on a leash. We strongly recommend that all our dogs attend obedience classes because you get to learn commands together, and it offers an opportunity for confidence building and socialization for the dog. Duke would be a perfect addition to any loving family looking for a bundle of fun and affection. Bring Duke home, or one of his littermates, and experience the boundless love and joy he brings! An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.
