Copper started the year at the 4 day Denver cluster, going BOV all 4 days! She didn't have any luck in the group until October when she went Group 2 under Jon Cole, and the following day Group 4 under Mrs. Kniola:

On August 25th, we lost our Ivy, Ch. Lionheart's Right As Rain, at the age of 13. Nothing can ever replace my sweetest girl. I miss her terribly. It is true, they are never with us long enough.

I'm looking forward to 2012, as I have very exciting plans for breeding Copper! I'll update when things are a go, sometime in March!
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!
