AKC and CKC Registered

Copy is our beautiful chocolate boy sired by Roger.  He is sweet, smart, and full of personality. Copy is an earnest retriever, with a swift entrance and enduring speed in the water as well. Conformation, bone, coat, tail set, and eye color are excellent; he is a full-bodied and well-muscled Labrador. In addition to outstanding conformation and movement, Copy is a total love.  This boy is adorable inside and out!

Copy earned his Canadian Champion title in August 2010.  To date, Copy has a 5 point specialty major towards his American Championship, and is consistently winning or earning high placements in Open Chocolate Dog at specialties.  In April 2010, Copy won Open Chocolate at the Labrador Retriever Club of the Potomac Specialty; the largest and most prestigious Labrador Specialty in the world!  In 2009 he placed 2nd also in this very competitive class! Two years prior (2007), Copy's sire, Roger, also went 2nd in Open Chocolate at the Potomac!

In addition to Copy's American Kennel Club registration, Copy is registered with the Canadian Kennel Club!

    Specialty – September 5, 2008
    Open Chocolate Dogs, First Place
    (Age:  19 Mos.)

    VENETIAN’S COPY THAT
    – Well-balanced chocolate.  I do like a chocolate with a hazel eye and this dog has a lovely eye colour and expressed intelligence. Clean, strong neck sitting on well placed shoulders and leading to a good top-line. Good depth of chest and well developed hind quarters and a super otter tail. Sufficient turn of stifle and well let down hocks. Neat feet. Good on the move.
