JOY,  the founder of Cooperleaf which is the foundation of Dragonpatch

Without the support of Joy Hickey-Small, from  New Zealand, and Phil Bitter,
of Holland, our dreams would never have come true. Thanks to both
for sharing the Copperleaf breeding stock with us here in the States.

Milly, BIS Copperleaf Rose of Sharon, with her three brothers. Bred by Joy and the foundation bitch of the latest Dragonpatch crew. She was a stand out even then.

Simon is the first New Zealand import to live with the Dragonpatch.
Simon won BOB and RBIS at the 2000 Dutch Jubilee Corgi Specialty and to date has sired (from dams of different bloodlines) several individual Specialty BOB winners in the US, NZ, Holland, Poland and France, and is the grandsire of BOB Specialty winners in Australia, Finland and France, all with large entries! This is a major achievement for a stud dog!
