		SR176847/01
	
	OFA Good # IR-10345G25F-PI

	Dam:  Dual Ch. Kulana X Quizit Bright Star, JH
	

	Height: 25” +/-
	Weight: 55 Pounds +/-
	

	
	Described by her field trainer as “stellar,” Copper was 1st 
	Place in 3 senior stakes and second in the 4th at the Irish Setter 
	Club of Central California November 2010 field trial, finishing the weekend 
	and the fall field trial season lacking just one single point to complete 
	her Field Champion title.  
	Returning to her field trainer, completely unexpectedly, she bloated in her 
	kennel run one night.  The 
	trainer found her in extreme distress and rushed her to the vet who took her 
	into immediate surgery, but was unable to save her. 
	All concerned were devastated. 
	Copper had also earned 4 conformation points, was a delight to live 
	with, and sadly had not yet been bred.
