Duke the labradoodle is a wonderful lively dog who we always enjoy looking after. We have looked after him twice previously in summer and Christmas of 2021. It’s always fun and he keeps us very fit and on our toes. A large dog for this breed type, he can easily rest his head on the kitchen countertops to see what you’re preparing for lunch or dinner and what he might be able to have! He has been known to pinch food given half the chance so has to be watched carefully for his own health. Dogs are allergic to a lot of human foods especially raisins, grapes and chocolate, as well as onions and quite a number of other foods we adore.
Affectionate and active Duke needs two or three good long walks a day and some time to play with other dogs if possible. Luckily south Wales is a stunning part of the United Kingdom and we enjoy our visits there immensely looking after Duke and seeing the various beaches and clifftop walks that abound.
On this trip we were extremely lucky as most days the sun shone brightly and we were able to explore the area to Duke and our hearts desire. He loves forests and the scents and swimming in the rivers and sea if he can, unfortunately, as he likes to steal clothes and picnics beaches can be challenging unless he’s kept on a tight lead, as a strong willful dog this can be a little difficult at times.
In the fields where he lives, he has a big garden he can play in and horses to run around with. An affectionate boy he likes nothing more than to curl up with his head on your lap in the evenings and watch TV, some of which he watches avidly with you.
We’re fortunate to call Duke one of our regulars and greatly look forward to seeing him every year as much as we can, as well as his wonderful owner of course before she departs on her holidays.
