Duchess (Retired)

About Duchess

“The best is really yet to come with [Duchess]. She is my first ever dog and has taught me so much while keeping busy training in four different events. She is a super weave dog and can be fast like a rocket (I usually hope she is heading in the right direction!).”

– Duchess’ handler
