'Cooper' is our latest hopeful with Denise and Chelsea Burke of Monabecca Kennels.  Living in Far North Queensland - 'Cooper' is the odd man out, being the only Gold Cocker in the showring in that area (lots of black and roans but no other Golds).  We all know how hard it is to groom a Gold's coat as well - and Denise is doing a fabulous job with assistance long distance via telephone calls and emails.  We wish them continued success with this lovely boy.

To date he has 1 x Reserve in Show (BIS2), 1 x Best in Group, 2 x Reserve in Group - and many CC,s and in Group and in Shoiw awards to his credit.

We think this gold boy will mature into something special, but in the interim, whilst being a gangly teenager, he is holding his own against stiff competition in the showring.
'Cooper' made his showring debut on 9 September 2006 and what a debut - BABY IN SHOW.  He followed this up the next day with Reserve Baby in Group.
