Utilivu was more than a gift, he is the beginning of a legacy and the spark of a love story. Trinton James, raised hound dogs with a deep respect for their loyalty, giving Utilivu (Copper) to his wife Ashleigh as a wedding gift. Ashleigh had never owned a pet before, but the moment she met Utulivu, everything changed. He became her constant companion, her shadow, and her heart- her very first canine love.

In his first season of showing, Utulivu quickly proved himself in the ring, earning multiple first and second place confirmation ribbons with his dignified presence and rare liver nose. He now stands as the first official stud of Mufasa Finn Ridgeback Farms, laying the foundation of generations to come.

But Utulivu’s impact didn't stop with Ashleigh.

Ashleigh’s mother, who had always said she was not a dog lover, found her heart captured by Utilivu (Copper). What with hesitation turned into quiet affection, and before long, she too was head of her heels. Copper had worked his way into her daily life and ultimately her heart.

Through Utulivu Copper, and the love they inspired, dogs have become not just a part of the family- they are the soul of it. What began as a thoughtful gift became a lifelong devotion, transferring hearts and redefining the meaning of home.
