Cooper

Profile

Cooper loves other dogs, rawhides, Nylabones, and stuffed toys. Cooper is a typical young golden energetic, playful, and loves attention. He loves his head and belly scratched and likes to give kisses. He rides well in the car, is starting to get used to the gentle leader, and makes sure he lets you know when someone is at the door or if he needs something (like if he wants the resident dog to give him the Nylabone). That happened earlier in the evening tonight and I couldn't figure out why he was barking until Mia got up and walked off, he took the bone and all was quiet again. He has shown no resource guarding of any kind towards people and the only thing I've seen him guard towards Mia is a rawhide. Cooper is a real easy guy to fall in love with. He has loved anyone he has met and likes to be around his people. 

He can be a little unsure of new things at times but I think that is him just settling in. This afternoon I was trying on my wedding dress and walking down the hallway and he started barking and barking. He couldn't figure out what this big white thing on me was and had to make sure he checked it out first. It was pretty funny!

Cooper doesn't countersurf and knows sit and we are working on wait. I definitely think he is a pretty smart guy as fast as he picked up the crate training and would do great in an obedience class.

And for the best news of all Cooper has already found his forever home. Jim and Marilyn who transported him all the way from Minnesota to Iowa last Sunday decided that they really wanted to make him a part of their family! He will be going to his new home in a couple of weeks after he is all healed from his neuter and his new dad gets back from a business trip. His new dad gets to work from home most of the time so Cooper is going to be one lucky boy!

Here are some pictures of this lovable guy!
