I am proud to introduce our pup Duke (Dukey or Bo Bo as my wife calls him). Duke just turned 8 months and weighs an even 100 lbs. He is great fun and listens pretty well for an untrained dog. I bought the book "Teach your dog 100 English words" before I got him and it has been a big help.

As you can see here, Duke is a big baby, probably not unlike many of everyone's dogs on here.

We love our Duke and so happy we chose this breed. Cheers.

Welcome and Duke is a handsome boy! You mentioned he was an untrained dog. I would recommend training for your pup ASAP. A DDB is extremely stubborn, very independent and needs guidance as to what they need to do. Without training, you will have a very strong, stubborn dog on your hands.

I rescued Titan @ 2 1/2 years old who had no training or socialization. After 21 months of being together, he's now listening to my commands after a long, frustrating road of training and training and socialization and socialization with the help of this forum especially joshuagough.
