About Us
Duchess, the Dog of the Day
Name: Duchess
Age: 27 months old
Gender: Female Breed: German Shepherd
Home: Plano, Texas, USA
 
   Duchess (M&B's Texas Duchess) is a 27-month-old female German Shepherd. She is very "ball" oriented and brings her ball, she has about ten, to you anytime she can get you to be still. When she is at the lake, she loves to swim, and if anyone tries fishing with a bobber, watch out, because Duchess thinks it's a ball she needs to bring to you.

    Her hobby while at home is chasing her friend, the cat. She chases the cat up in the corner, the end of the hall, under the table, or anyplace she feels she has done her herding job, hence sometimes being referred to as the "beast." Then she lays down and watches to make sure there is no escape. By the way, she does the same thing with her humans by always lying in the doorway or the entrance to wherever we are, making sure we have to step over her to leave. Then she turns and follows.

    Duchess is a great friend and companion, loves to take walks, and just be where her people friends are. While she is social, we always feel safer when she is with us. She is well loved and returns affection at least ten fold. Duchess is shown on "her" couch. This is in my office at home; the only piece of furniture there she is allowed on.  She knows this is hers.
