Aust Champion, BISS Maesgwyn Duke of Marma TD

Duke is from our second litter, the Maesgwyn Warriors. We hadn’t intend to keep a puppy from this litter, but we just couldn’t part with this lovely boy, although he is such a rascal we sometimes question our wisdom!

He is a wonderful ambassador for the breed and charms everyone he meets.

Duke took to the show ring with his usual aplomb, and although shown infrequently, he gained his title easily. He has done extremely well at breed level as well as winning in group and specialty in show awards.

Duke has been awarded Best of Breed at the Adelaide Royal for four consecutive years. His wins include:

Nov 2007 Rarer Gundog Spaniel Club, Best Of Breed, 18 entries
Nov 2007 Victorian Gundog Club, Best of Breed, 18 entries

Our sincere thanks to Duke's handlers, especially Cheryl Harding.

Duke sired four litters and we are very proud of his progeny and the positive impact he has made on the breed through his kids and grand kids.

Duke is now officially retired, but comes along to the occasional show.

Duke also appeared in the Pedigree Dentastix television commercial which aired in April 2010.
