Aust. Dual Ch. (T) Coppertop Catch A Glance CDX TDX ET
"Casey"
Multiple Class In Specialty Show winner
owned by our good friend Shayne Ramsay
bred by Julie Hovell - Coppertop Dobermanns, Victoria, Australia.
We have known Shayne for nearly 30 years through her involvement in Weimaraners. Shayne owned the beautiful Weimaraner bitch "Aust Ch. Bromhund Ultra Sonic - Wiggs" who was a Multiple BIS and BISS winner, and was also Runner Up In Show at Adelaide Royal. Shayne bred Wiggs under the Trupoint prefix and from her first litter Liz was lucky to purhase our beautiful Weimaraner 'Aust. Ch. Trupoint Rich Bitch'.
Shayne moved into Dobermann's when her daughter Tasha wanted a dog but didn't want a Weimaraner or German Shorthaired Pointer. Through Tasha her love of the breed deepened and for most of the past decade she has owned Dobermann's. She has created a State record for continuous wins in the Obedience Top 10 dogs competition, winning 3 times with her talented girl 'Aust Obed.Ch. Crackerdobe Watta Cracker ET, WAC.
Whilst working her Dobermann's in Obedience she met fellow dobe owner, Julie Hovell - 'Coppertop Dobermanns' who was looking for a home for a rehouse bitch - this bitch was the beautiful Casey. Casey is handled in the show ring by Julie. Her wins include Specialty Show Bitch CC and numerous class in shows. She gained her championship title mostly under Dobe specialist judges, accumulating 71 points in 9 days including bitch CC and Intermediate in Show at ACT Dobe Specialty 2004. Shayne has trained Casey for obedience and gained her CD title with scores of 195,190, 193 and 191 giving her 4 first places, 2 highest in trials over 4 consecutive trials. Casey gained her CDX title in just 4 trials, topscoring with 196 at the 2005 Doberman Club of Victoria obedience trial. Whilst Casey is trained and handled in obedience by Shayne she lives with Tasha and her partner Doug in Mt. Eliza, they also have another dobe bitch - Java who is also extremely spoilt.
Shayne asked Liz to handle (Shayne's knees aren't as young as they used to be) Casey for tracking at the beginning of the 2007 tracking season and her first trial was at Tracking Club of Victoria at Broadford in July, 2007 where she gained her TQT.
The following week at Morwell she gained her Track 1 & Track 2 - giving her a TD Title in just 7 days and was graded Very Good for both Tracks. By mid August Casey had achieved Tracks 3 & 4. At the beginning of June 2008 she gained her TDX at Hastings Obed. Dog Club Trial - judge - Helen Den Hartog. Casey is now trying very hard to get her Track 6 and Tracking Championship before the end of this tracking season. Whilst Casey is an air head (or blonde shall we say) at times on tracks she is a beautiful tracking dog, especially when she sets her mind to work.
14-7-08 Casey achieves a Very Good on her Track 6 - gaining her "Tracking Championship"
Judge: Mrs. Kim Houlden - Tracking Dog Club of Victoria Inc. who in her presentation speech said -
" Casey is one of the best tracking Dobermann's I have seen - she was very close to an excellent grading"
Note: Casey started her tracking trial career off with a TQT pass from Kim Houlden at this same tracking trial and in exactly one year to the day she gains her Championship under Kim.
