Duncan, the Dog of the Day
Name: Duncan
Age: One and a half years old
Gender: Male Breed: Dog
Home: Syracuse, New York, USA
 
   I adopted Duncan from the local animal shelter here in Syracuse New York in July of last year. When I first saw him, he was about 45 pounds and a medium-sized dog. The shelter said that he was found as a stray and they believed him to be about one year old and fully grown. Boy were they wrong!! He now weighs 77 pounds and is about 27 inches tall at the shoulder. I'm not sure about what type of mix he is... Originally they thought Gordon Setter because of the coloring and the feathering on his legs. I did some research on my own and discovered a dog called a Hovawart. Duncan looks exactly like one and his personality watches the description of the breed. They are very rare so I can't imagine he is a purebreed but it doesn't matter! He is a sweet, fun, loving animal. I couldn't be happier with him in my life!
