Duke is another lovely puppy in partnership with my dear friend Barbara Toner.

Duke earned his name after a nasty dose of puppy strangles,but always had a wag of the tail and lots of licks for me. Such a sweet outgoing and very smart dog and nothing phases him. He is a very powerful straight moving dog and is very athletic. I call him my mountain goat as he always jumps up on any available surface that will put him at eye level with me :)

Sadly Duke is no longer at stud due to fertility issues and has been desexed. He has produced some beautiful young dogs who have super temperaments and doing well in the show ring. Check out Misty, Maddie and Cass at https://www.bellbidgeelabradors.com/meet-my-dogs.asp

Duke loves nothing better than playing on the trampoline with our grandkids: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCP1SAEAUWw
Duke is now retired and loving the life with his new family .
