Description
Hi! My name is Cooper, and I’m a year old Shepherd/Lab/Pit/Chow mix that's searching for the right match!
With my parentage, you could probably tell that I am a pretty intense guy and the young family that gave me a great start is just not prepared to give me the consistency I need to be the best companion I can be. I am a really smart dog and matriculated from Dog Days Academy with honors! I have great house manners, wait at doors, walk nicely on a loose leash and come when called. All the humans I have met (and if you look at the pictures, I have met a bunch) say I’m a real sweet, affectionate fella.
Unfortunately, not all my doggie friends agree. With the help of my friends at Dog Days, I am learning not to be nasty when a dog buddy tries to take my favorite tennis ball or gets in my space. If you look at the videos, you will see I am getting better with other dogs, but I need a family of adults that can help me with consistent rules and guidance, especially as I mature into an adult dog.
A little about me - I'm about 50 lbs., shorthaired, black with spotted white paw markings and a white-tipped tail. I've got gorgeous amber eyes. I'm neutered, chipped, and up-to-date on all vaccinations. I love hikes, swimming, and digging in the sand at the beach. I'm active but not hyper - I'm happy to chill with my person.
I really want to be a good dog, and with the right placement, I will be a GREAT dog! My trainer says that my high drive and focus could make me a wonderful working dog, farm dog, or K-9 pup.
My family and my trainer are happy to share more photos and information about me. They're willing to transport me up and down the east coast, if necessary, to my new home. Their greatest wish is to see me find a safe and loving home that will help me be the best dog a dog can be!
