I found this little fella over the weekend. Meet Duke, he is a beagle-terrier mix. I got him from a local rescue group that was at a pet store adoption fair. He is so sweet and is super soft. About a year and half old, is crate trained and does not shed unless very little. Now the fun part on how to train him to listen. Just like a guy, he listens when he wants to apparently...haha I do plan on trying out a training class from a previous suggestion from Windsor. So far he seems to play great with kids and get along well with other dogs too. He had a busy weekend. I will put more pics up along way on Facebook. I could not have found a more perfect match in a dog. Now I must find all sorts of Duke doggie toys...

Yay!! He looks fun. How was the adoption fair, were there lots of dogs there?
Congrats on your new kid!

Congrats! Saw his picture last night on Facebook. Hope he gives you lots of love and doesn't tear up everything in sight!

I'd give him a bunch of kerlina doggie toys so he can rip them to shreds .

What a cutie! He looks very smart.


Of course, it could just be the name. ;)

He is adorable! What a cutie pie. He will bring you much happiness - I can see it in his little eyes.

Hooray! Congratulations on the new little guy! Merlin the rescue hound approves.

He's a cutie. Walter and I are very happy for the two of you.
Having a dog in my life has been one of the most joyful, rewarding experiences I've ever had.

I him!

Great name, BTW.

Thanks everyone! I am excited to have him and look forward to including him in the family!

Yes, there were some other dogs there but they were mostly either bigger dogs or puppies who would be bigger then I wanted.

HaHa, yes I was very creative on the name! I thought of JJ, Kyle, Singler, and a few other players names to incorporate but Duke seems to fit him well. (They had him named Calvin, so now I just have to get him to know his new name) And he looks good in blue too!

How fitting for Mothers' Day!!!!! Beagles and Terriers are both high energy. He'll give you good workouts! Good luck. He's so cute!
Love, Ima

Cute dog but if he is going to chew up and destroy his toys, as most dogs do, shouldn't you get him Kerlina branded stuff? The symbolism would be priceless.

Our dogs have played with tar heel toys for almost 15 years now.

The local grocery store had a referee dog toy for tough chewers, as well. (He lasted about 3 minutes with Merlin.) Having your dog tear a referee to shreds during Duke basketball season can be quite cathartic. Otherwise, I'm with those who suggest the sheep toys, unless they leave a bad taste in little Duke's mouth.

Awwww! He is soooooo cute!

Hmmm.. you bring up a good reason for a tarhole toy purchase.. I will keep that in mind. I have always said I will never purchase any of their products and support them in any way.

Duke has been such a good boy, I missed him while I was at work today!

congrats on your new pet, fordgrl. He is so cute!

Congrats on the new dog!


(FWIW, I was expecting Survivor lyrics here. )

That's a fine lookin' canine. You selected well.
