"Duke" passed away on March 2, 2006 of natural causes.  He was an exemplary representation of the breed and a true friend and companion.  He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

He was the sire of Peggy Sue's one and only litter and all FIVE puppies are now AKC CHAMPIONS.  In fact, they are specialty winners and an All Breed Best In Show winner. His puppies are a reflection of his strengths and great temperament.  Be on the lookout for them in the Ring!
