Copper is our home grown guy, sired by Laddie and out of Misty. He is a big boy, who weighed 70 lbs at the vet after a night without food and water pre-OFA rads Dec 29, 2023. Copper is highly intelligent, eager, food & praise motivated, with drive and an off switch; a joy to train.
This gorgeous boy was originally homed elsewhere but ended up needing more uniformly consistent rules than he was receiving so came home, where he has fit in beautifully.
Copper has nice conformation - parallel leg structure and good, even width from shoulders to hip... He looked nicely put together even at what is typically an awkward age (pictured at 9 months old). I'm thoroughly enjoying seeing his more fully filled out, mature build.
**PLEASE NOTE** At this point, all new pictures have to be uploaded to my blog, since I'm told my website is too full to add any more. I'm working on that, but in the meantime... BLOG it is.
When I can catch a moment, I'll write a blog about his first exposure to Barn Hunt at the end of June, 2023. He's a natural and loved everything about the experience
