About Cooper

Cooper is highly energetic, intelligent, loyal and affectionate. He thrives on having a close bond with his human, and has a very high capacity for connection. He is a 'medium-level velcro dog', meaning that he loves to follow you around and be close to you at all times, but he is not overly clingy and does not have separation anxiety. He is very good at recognizing and cooperating with routines, so when it's time for you to leave the house (he'll know because you put your shoes on / grabbed your keys), he'll go right in the crate with little to no prompting. Because of the close bond, Cooper can be protective of his people and slow to warm up to new people. He always knows what's going on and is known to bark if people or dogs are approaching the property. This is something that could likely be corrected with some additional training. We recommend introducing him to new people slowly, and allow Cooper to approach them when he's ready. Once he is comfortable with someone, he'll show them his soft side and be just as loving and affectionate (and want them to throw the ball). Cooper's interactions with other dogs can be a bit unpredictable - some dogs he is fine with, but others can trigger a reaction. This happens when he is on a leash and around his people, however, he can be dropped off at a doggy day care (for the day or multiple days) with other dogs and has never had any issues. He will do best in a household with people that are looking for a close bond, can throw the ball often (literally all times of the day), gives him lots of walks, exercise and cuddles. He should be in a location with room to run around (large backyard is ideal), and with owners that are open to additional training to reduce some of the barking and/or reactivity toward certain other dogs. His breed does have a decently high prey drive, and so it's best to keep him away from cats and squirrels. Cooper is an incredible companion, and needs an owner that will want to give him the same love and attention he will give. We LOVE Cooper and feel very attached, but our family is navigating a serious health crisis and we can unfortunately no longer give him the love and attention he deserves.
