Duszah Border Collies

About Copper

 

Arajoel Glory Comet (Copper)

 

 
We are very proud to own such a handsome boy.

. 3 years we waited for Copper and are in great belief that good things come to those who wait, as he is everything we could have hoped of owning and more.
Copper has the most amazing nature, we could not have hoped for better for our wonderful family member and the father of our Duszah puppies. 
Copper is a very cruisy boy, happy to lay about, swim or enjoy the company of other dogs/people, but he can become just as excitable as the next border collie, he loves a good play. He is our daughter Alizah's dog however he is everyone's, not completely bonded to one of the family more than the other. He is soft and kind at heart.

It is now 2019 and as Copper is 8 years old, he will soon retire from our breeding program. We have so much to thank our foundation man for. We have now bettered him in our progeny we have kept, he has pups, grand pups and recently a great grand pup which are retained by Duszah for future plans, and as we continue to move forward advancing our own lines, Copper will be desexed to live out his days as a glorified lounge lizard. Thanks Spunk man Cop!
