This and that

‘Cooper’ Multi Ch. Rock me Amadeus aus dem Elbe-Urstromtal” has been used twice for breeding by the well-known Irish couple Colm and Roos Hastings. In our modern world, all this is done using frozen semen.

There were two litters in Ireland. The dam is a daughter of a litter-sister to our famous “Norman Harrison” and from the famous American line of Jere Marder’s “Lambluv”.

It was nothing short of a brilliant mating.

Since then, four dogs from these two litters have become champions!

These are two males; the other two champions are the females:

‘Cooper’ is the proud sire of 20 champion offspring! That really is something special.
