Name:  Duke Last title awarded: FMX Short Story: Duke was 18 months old when he came to us. He is a very very confident young man. It is fun to see him become totally obsessed with the tennis ball, play tug and interact with Darby & Nick (both aussies) at home. Now to do it at a tourni. Still can't get him to give us his 'secret' baked bean recipe.  Owner's Name: Maureen Setter , Olmsted Falls, Ohio Breed:Australian Shepherd Goal: For him to realize that the whole world is a ball -- tennis ball that is. Seriously, whatever activity he wants to participate in, he can ... be it flyball, agility, tracking or simply being a couch potato (but Nick has that title).  Recent Brag: Duke ran full time for the first time at Clean Break's Gettysburg tournament getting his FDCH and FDCH-S in one weekend.
