Hopping Dog Productions 'Super Cooper'

Thanks for all the new likes and followers. If you are interested in our dog Cooper's story please check out the videos and posts in order. He was diagnosed with histiocytic sarcoma at aged 9 and had a leg and shoulder amputation. Given 2 months to live he survived 12 with a good quality of life. Remember, if your dog has intermittent lameness it may not be arthritis, ask (insist) your vet seriously considers x-rays especially on flat-coated retrievers. [Pic with permission from the owner]

It was a bit of a mixed result. He found it hard to lay down because he's so long his paws bumped into the inside front. When I opened the front to let his paws out he took the opportunity to jump out!

Lovely morning here in Derbyshire. Are you out with your dogs today? Honorary flatcoat Bailey, Cooper's brother, is getting on and a bit feeble bless him. Here's his attempt at getting into bed the other day!

At a lovely family party, in a side conversation, I'm hearing the story of my niece's boyfriend's family flatcoat. Leg cancer, passed away at 7. If your dog has an intermittent limp, please ask your vet to arrang x-rays. Better to be safe! Video is of our half flatcoat Roo playing with a neighbour's new puppy Zizou.

Hi and welcome to new followers 🐾. If you know someone whose flatcoat has lost a leg or may lose a leg I am always happy to talk about our experiences with Cooper. And if your dog has intermittent lameness please *politely but firmly insist* your vet does an Xray to check for osteo or histiocytic sarcoma.

Cooper says "if your flattie has intermittent limping please INSIST your vet does an X-ray to rule out cancer, if they decline, ask a different vet - it is BETTER TO KNOW EARLY". Lynn agrees - it is sad that all these years after Cooper died I am still having conversations with owners who discover cancer after months of 'arthritis' discussions. Please ask your vet to X-ray just in case and help them by sharing information on cancer in our breed. https://www.thefield.co.uk/gundogs/flatcoated-retriever-flatcoats-fatal-flaw-39355

Supplanted by labradors in the line, the flatcoated retriever still has its fans says David Tomlinson. But its susceptibility to disease must be addressed
