Duke was bred in Wales by Mike and Christine Hall at their home and sheepdog training center Pentwyncoch Isaf.

 Duke has a lovely outgoing happy temperament, he enjoys life and always sees the bright side. He is great with other dogs and people, trustworthy with children and puppies.  He has no fears and is not sound sensitive. He is also extremely athletic and has a lovely build, he just floats over the ground when he moves.
He is well started on sheep and is very keen to work, showing excellent balance, natural pace and square flanks. Duke is taking well to driving. He has a nice feel for his sheep and is progressing easily with his training.  He is a reliable dog and you can count on him not to do foolish things.  He currently assists with all the chores, including gathering the large field with an 800 meter outrun, drive, pen, sort sheep and hold ewes with lambs.

Duke is everything I could have asked for in a dog. He is just a love, so nice to have around, and my best friend.
