What is the naughtiest thing your pet has done?
She rides the line of being just the right amount of naughty and amazing… However, her naughtiest thing was at search and rescue training as a young dog around 1.5 years old. We came across a herd of cattle while training and her natural instinct to herd the massive herd kicked it and took almost 10 minutes to get her back. But boy she was natural and respectful while trying to herd the cattle. She no longer does that and contains her urge if we come across animals.
What is your pet's favourite thing to do?
Coppers favorite thing to do is work as she is a certified Human Remains Detection Dog(HRD). So we train twice a week and deploy when ever we get asked to. She loves training and deploying all times of the year. Copper has been doing search and rescue/recovery since 5 months old
