We recently celebrated the lovely Duke’s birthday!
Duke and his sister Roxy, affectionately known as ‘the twins’, are quite the pair. They absolutely adore each other, but when it comes to training, they really are a bit like yin and yang!
Roxy is up for absolutely anything. Duke, on the other hand, likes to take things at his own pace, thank you very much!
He’s a clever, food-loving boy with his own very special style.
When we first started working together, three repetitions of an exercise were quite enough for Duke!
One of my favourite photos of him is from a class where we hadn’t quite worked out his limits. Halfway through an exercise, Duke simply decided he’d had enough and lay down right there in the middle of it! 😂
These days, he knows he can take himself off to his bed for a break, and we’ve learnt to recognise when he’s ready for one too.
It’s been lovely watching him develop.He’s handsome, entertaining, gloriously himself, and we wouldn’t have him any other way!
I love watching him with Roxy and seeing how much they adore Angie and Nigel, and how much they’re adored in return.
Happy Birthday, Duke! We love having you as part of the Insight Hounds family!
