Show Champion Shelseivad Aniseed Twist – Copper | Born 19/06/2006

Stud Book # 1319CV

Copper is a Show champion and has won best of breed with all of his challenge certificates which were awarded whilst under the scrutiny of well acclaimed and respected judges in the UK (see below for judge’s comments).

Copper entered the show ring for the first time in 2009 at almost 4 years old. in his first ever show he qualified for Crufts 2010 and got third place in his class. (Limit Dog)

Throughout that year he went on to be awarded four challenge certificates and the Kennel Club title of Show Champion along with a life-long qualification for Crufts.

Copper is a working dog and has been used as a deer stalking dog from a young age proving invaluable in this field demonstrating the very best of attributes the breed has to offer.

With a marvelous temperament he is truly a special dog. All who meet him are endeared to this affectionate and loyal soul. As a proven stud dog he has sired puppies of very high quality and breed conformation standard with many of his progeny doing very well in the show ring and out in the working field.

Sadly Copper developed arthritis in his spine causing him much pain and made it difficult for him to walk. It was in November 2014 I needed to make the heartbreaking decision to end his suffering and have him put in to permanent sleep:(
