Introducing: Duke Troxell

So, we took the plunge. We were so hesitant, but when a breeder contacted us to let us know, "I have one boy and one girl left", we couldn't resist. I was at work and called Chris. I was more reluctant, knowing the responsibility it takes to raise a puppy. Chris said, "Let's do it!". I let him call and pick boy or girl. He called me back saying, "It's a boy!". So, Duke, it was. Chris loves the name Duke for a child. I say it works for a dog, that's it.

Duke is an American Eskimo, a very tough breed to find as they are rare in this area. We drove up to Auburn, NY to pick him up. So far he has been so sweet. He is quiet and very calm and submissive. Unfortunately though, he is teething so he is chewing on everything.

He is 13lbs. right now and will grow quickly, so check his picture out below. We are cherishing the puppy-phase, but we're excited to have this companion with us in our future.
