Hi everyone and welcome to the group! We're excited to have you here! Here's a post where you can learn a little more about us running the group!
-Amy-
I am the owner of Duke's Group. I created DG back in 2007 when I adopted a little Dane puppy named Duke <3 The idea started at RKC when I wanted Duke to have friends but I didn't want to own them myself. Duke's Group was born and the idea of Playgroups, playdates, and send in contests. The group has changed a lot over the years, but the main purpose has stayed the same. To naturally raise and enjoy your petz as the game intended.
I own a lot of websites, I really enjoy making them. I also love hexing petz, breedz, toys, and clothes. I am a member of RKC, WW, PUGS, PKC, and Seeing Stars.
I try to be an active member of the community and be around as often as possible, however I have a Real Life too....
I am now 31 years old, I have 2 kids, and I am a Professional Dog Trainer. I love working with dogs and animals in general. Petz gives me a great outlet to relax but sometimes it takes over my life and I have to be careful.
Anways, enough about me!
- If you are an admin or a mod, post below a little bit about you for our new members! Thank you!

Howdy all! I'm Little Bit, or LB for short. I've been around and causing havoc since 2011. My crew has been through several changes over the years, and now I'm starting over with a main coon named Pewter and a dog named Lasso (hexed by the lovely Nilla). I'm active mostly on the PKC and here. I have a few sites, mostly under construction as I am lazy. XD IRL, I'm a billing analyst for a corporation. I'm 24. I am disabled, and am currently training my own medical alert dog with help from several wonderful professionals. I have 4 dogs, 2 rough collies, a cardigan welsh corgi, and a mixed breed. I show and compete with our cardigan and one of the collies. I'm heavily involved in rescue as well as purebred breed clubs with my wonderful husband. I also have two mischievous ferrets, and a leopard gecko with an attitude problem. Penny is also my RL little sister. I'm also an avid fiber artist. So lots of knitting, spinning, and sewing here. Pets is one of the ways I use to relax, get away from all the crazy, and just play with some pixels for awhile. It's wonderful to meet you!

I'm Max, originally MaxPower, named after a modified car mag I go by Anthracite on other sites, which is also my general kennel name. I use P4 and have only ever had Dogz. I've been in the PC for... 8ish years? I think I started with PKC (where I'm still active), then moved here very soon after because this forum shares my love of actually playing the game as opposed to chasing titles. I was AWOL for a couple of years due to personal issues and came back late last year with a new philosophy - looking after my deliberately small crew is the only goal, everything else is an add-on when I have the time, energy and motivation. It's working pretty well so far and I'm currently able to look after my petzy petz naturally whilst also showing at PKC. I've never had a website (nope, not even a crappy one when I was younger!) but I did gradually learn to hex paint and do small modifications, and now I realistically hex all my dogz (I'm a genetics nerd). IRL I am English, have an ancient border collie cross called Sasha and an ever increasing number of brown-lipped snails ( Cepaea nemoralis). I have two cars - a '96 3 series Beemer and '02 Citroen Saxo - who I love to bits (and also take all disposable income). Cars, trucks, lorries and locomotives are my favourite things in the world <3 I am autistic, agender (they/them pronouns) and an unashamed SJW. I hope our newbs enjoy DG as much as I do, the sense of familiarity and friendship is second to none <3

Hey there everyone! I'm Vanilla/Nilla(or vanillaice-petz if you know me from PKC)! I've been an admin here for...I don't even know how long, at least 6 years probably more XD As far as the PC goes I've been here since 2009, since I was 12 lol! I'm 21 now so yeah, kinda grew up in the PC. Duke's Group has always been a family to me, so I've pretty much been active here the whole time. I also tend to frequent PKC and at times have frequented PUGS, RKC, and WW. Honestly I adore everyone here and if you're new here, well I'm so happy to have a new family member My petzy hobbies tend to be naturally raising, showing, and hexing(both breeds and toyz, but I have a lot more experience with breeds). In RL, I just completed my freshman year of college as an Animal Science major(concentration canine!) and just started an internship with an organization that takes shelter dogs and trains them as service dogs for veterans with PTSD! Which is really awesome because training service dogs has been my dream for a few years now. This was inspired by my lovely GSD/lab/dane mutt named Boomer, who I am currently training as a mobility service dog for myself(yup, I'm disabled!) and the freedom and confidence he's given me made me want to help others. If you wanna see a pic, here is a recent one of him hard at work at the grocery store I also happen to personally own a year old Holland Lop named Eevee, and have two family dogs who are 11 and 10 year old Shih Tzus, Bailey and Bella. I'm also totally canine obsessed, especially with training ~Vanilla

Hey guys! I'm the newest admin and I'm so pleased! I have been on the DG discord almost since it's conception, and I joined DG last spring!
I was never really into naturally raising, but last year I thought "hey why not?" and adopted my best buddy Pearce. I had a lot of fun getting to know him, sending him and Magic on playdates, and teaching them cool things. I've been around the PC since 2004 or earlier and have had a few different websites (Enchanted Kingdom and Only The Light were some of my oldies). Now I own Medusa and Bloomingfield Kennels.
I'm pretty active in PKC and love the competitive showing aspect, as well as the realism that it gives to playing Petz. I enjoy the hexing a lot, and not so much the posing lol. Maybe I'm in the wrong place XD. I also hang around PUGs, TFM, WW and RKC checking out various things in the PC. I still love this silly old game, as I'm sure we all do.
Anyways, I'm very friendly and would love to answer any questions or concerns you have. Or if you just want to chat, drop me a line. Thanks for reading!
