The old dog still has the legs under him. Cooper isn’t far off turning 12 and he’s still fit as a fiddle even if his ears don’t work so well these days.
Shout out to CopRice working dog food for giving him the nutrition he’s needed to keep in such great shape over all these years.

This was a cool combo I used the other day.
3 generations in this photo.
I hoped the day would come where I got to a stage of having bred generations of dogs who I get along with instead of having to buy dogs in. It was a feeling of pride and accomplishment when I was watching these dogs work together.

Marista Zoe (my first dog and one of two foundation batches for my team)

Vera Hunter (a Zoe/Hiltons Pin son who was born February 2025 and is an up and comer to our team)

Vera Slim (a Zoe/Pin son from her first litter 2020 and is the Sire to Vera Freya)

Vera Freya (a Slim/Larnach Moana daughter who was born January 2025 who’s also a nice up and comer who’s also showing potential to be a future breeder for me as well)

CopRice has been my go to for years fuelling the generations as they’ve come through.

Vera Slim and his full brother from another litter Vera Hunter pushing up to scanning yesterday. Safe to say the genetics are strong in these two.
CopRice keeping these two looking and preforming at a high level.

The yards are nearly set, and the pressure’s building.
This is what it’s all about.
