Labrador Bitches All our bitches have excellent field trial pedigrees, have clear eye certificates and good hip & elbow scores. We are now 'Optigen' testing all our stock and are probably the first and only breeder in Ireland to carry out this genetic test. In fact Copperbirch is probably the first known breeder in Ireland to produce an exceptionally well bred bitch with clear eyes 0:0 hips & elbows and 'Optigen' clear - "The Perfect Healthy Labrador". For further information visit www.optigen.com. Our bitches are all worked regularly on a variety of different terrains and possess impressive levels of agility and stamina to work full time throughout the season. Copperbirch as a rule, does not keep any brood bitches and as a result all our litters are descendants of both strong working and field trial lines. We only keep bitches that are capable of being trained to field trial standard. Some have already won field trial and working test awards and others are either shooting bitches or bitches currently in field trial training.
