My Australian Kelpie

"COPPER CD FD"

"Copper" was a gift from my Mum for my Birthday, I wanted an Australian Kelpie. Copper grew up thinking he was a Golden Retriever and we never had the heart to tell him he wasn't!

Copper is such a laid back boy that we strolled through our Obedience work and when we finally decided to enter a trial we got our "CD" title, Copper was 5yrs old (we were in no hurry). Copper and I had a great time doing Flyball, probably the only time Copper showed real enthusiasm about anything! The first thing he did was christen the Flyball box........(by lifting his leg on it!) A bit embarrassing but when we got over that he did well gaining his FD title at the Adelaide Royal Show.

One day we may decide to stroll towards our CDX title, that's if I can ever get him to bring anything back to me!!!!!!!

My special boy Copper passed away July 2007...............

Copper was a great "teacher" to our golden pups and mates with all our Goldies, he had the perfect temperament and was always friendly with everyone he met. Always ready for a game or just sitting quietly beside you knowing instinctively what mood you were in. 

He was the best!

Copper was my best friend and so loyal

Very Spoiled and Very Loved  and will be Greatly Missed by Emma-Lee

I ONLY WANTED YOU

They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.

A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.

If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.
