Royal's Valiant Duke Jonah
Handler: Terry Reed
Duke Jonah came to the Reed home as a very young happy puppy.
Duke Jonah, aka Duker began pulling in the IWPA in 2003. In his 8 seasons of competition he earned 1 gold, 1 silver and 6 bronze regional medals as well as 2 Championship invitations. He never quite made it to a Championship medal but came very close; taking 4th place on time at the 2011 Championship in Estes Park. Terry always went to Championships with Duker telling him "Just don't be last"; he never was.
Duker retired after the 2011 Championships in Estes Park, Colorado.
Duke Jonah was laid to rest on September 10, 2012.
