About dogs named Dude

The following are 10 profiles of dogs named Dude from our database of 50 dogs with the name Dude.

• “border/heeler, too smart, if you say hello you are his new best friend. ball is life!“

  — Danna S.

• “Dude is a mixed breed rescue that we adopted in August 2023. He is such a happy, friendly guy who makes friends wherever he goes. Hes got a very unique look so he gets a lot of attention and he loves it! He’s super treat motivated and learns tricks very quickly. He’s so sweet and calm in our home and loves to just watch out the window. He never barks, just wags his tail. He’ll play with any toy but particularly loves stuffies. We believe he’s a pointer mix as he gets super fixated on squirrels and rabbits. He would love to chase them all over. We don’t have a fenced yard for him to enjoy, but we live on a trail and have a 50ft long line for him that allows him to have a little more freedom. He loves running through brush and forests on his long lead and we love giving him the chance to do it.“

  — Olivia B.

• “I'm a teenager and need to run not being on a lead. 2 days at daycare is great but I need a place to be with mom and dad.“

  — Elaine G.

• “Excited puppy just 6 months but growing fast full of energy and curious about all the new things out there“

  — Michael T.

• “I am new to my family and I live in a townhouse without a yard. I'm looking to stretch my legs a little and show my new mom what I can do when I'm able to ditch this darned leash!“

  — Jennifer H.

• “I love food. I love making multiple trips to the kitchen to see what snack I can get. I love running and wrestling and running with my brother.“

  — Aurora S.

• “Very mild mannered, can be sneaky but makes pretty good decisions. Likes to explore and a jumper when excited. Inquisitive but cautious. Can be corrective“

  — Elijah M.

• “I am a catahoula lab mix who loves to swim and I love other dogs unless they try to dominate me.“

  — A L.

• “Dude is a mellow but medium to high activity dog. He loves to play fetch with his ball more than anything!“

  — Karley E.

• “A little high strung and bursting with energy. I’m still a puppy and was taken in by my Grandma when my Mom & Dad had another baby and I was too much for them to handle. I’m still learning and tend to play too hard with my brother, Thor but I’m very smart and learn quickly! I’ll keep going to training and working on being a good boy. Oh did I mention I LOVE TO RUNNNN—->>!!??“

  — Tracey C.
