COOPER
 

 In the Spotlight is Cooper , CH Kiara Ewok Among Us  BN RAE THDX CGC.  Cooper just celebrated his 14th birthday. Cooper was Travis Brock's foray into the sport of dogdom. His first show dog. And the beginning of his Terpsichorean Tibetan Terrier line. 

The alphabet soup after Cooper's name, BN RAE THDX CGC, means he's more than just a pretty face. Titled beyond his AKC Championship, he has earned other titles: Beginner Novice, Rally Advanced Excellent, Therapy Dog Excellent, and Canine Good Citizen. These achievements were the successful highlight of a great pairing: Cooper and Travis's Mom, Jane Godell.                                                               

 

Jane started working with Cooper several years ago as she and Travis realized Cooper had unproven talents and abilities. She brought the best out of him, realizing TTs --usually willing to please, especially the boys-- enjoyed her training. Soon, with resolve, Jane and Cooper progressed from one performance title to the next.       
 
He stood out . Nothing more beautiful than an agile dog happily taking on the course...beautifully coated...well manicured hair flowing in the breeze. Beauty in motion.                          .  
 
 
 

 

For the passed several years Cooper has resided with Jane and her husband Don. He goes everywhere with them...from winters in Florida or the Carolinas, to summers in Maine and elswhere, or just at home in Connecticut. Loves his dog walks in the woods, parks, or on golf courses. With Jane and Don he helped initiate the many New England TT dog walking experiences.  Of course, at 14, he's a celebrated--and funny-- old curmudgeon who like all older guys, is set in his ways. He likes his pillow time and can be a gumpy old man. But he delighgts in sharing his life with his human companioins and all that they offer him. 

 

                      

 

 

 

More importantly from all those earned laurels and brags --to me-- is the line of TTs that has grown in the Cooper family. It started with this litter. Cooper sired a beautiful litter with my Passion (CH Kiara All Fired Up) of six . Miss Doris (CH Kiara Promethean Fire At Terpsichorean) is among them.

At the recent TTCA Specialty a composite photo of part of that Cooper family was requistioned. Daughter Doris is far left next to daddy Cooper, then puppy great-grandson Ozzie, and far right Doris's daughter Keys, Ozzie's mom. It's a straight line of four generations. It's a breeder's dream!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And on numerous occasions he dutifully played the part of ambassador of the breed. Joining other TTs, Cooper met the public

at the AKC's Meet The Breeds events in New York City. Always interested and engaging, The public got to meet Cooper.
