5/23/05: Here's Cooper! He is an extremely sweet and sensitive young 8 month old boy. He tries very hard to please you and is very loving and snuggly.

He is one of Holly's 05-003 pups and has the same wonderful huge eyes!!! We are working on obedience and walking nice on the leash. I don't think he was actually walked before, as he likes to wrap himself around you! Cooper learns very quickly. He is a little shy of loud noises and would like to stay in our yard rather than go for a walk down the road. I'm hoping he will find out walking is a very fun thing to do - he just needs more confidence.

Cooper does not like to be crated - he is very claustrophobic and would do better in a home where he doesn't need to be crated. We have a lot of toys around and a lot of dogs to play with, so here, he doesn't get into any trouble. But being only 8 months old he would have to be supervised. He is not a dog that just grabs thing to chew up - he really is a good boy.

When he came to us, he was being treated for coccidia and giardia, two parasites that left him with a large belly and very poor hair coat. Those parasites are now gone, and his whole body looks soooo much better! No more accidents in the house, the poor little guy! He also had a bladder infection, and just got a total clean bill of health on that too!

So, you know what that means? He is ready for his wonderful, loving, caring forever home. This guys needs to know that someone special wants him for the rest of his life and in return he will give you the ultimate - all his love. He would do best in a home that has time for him, will take him to obedience class and give him the guidance that he needs to grow up right. He does great with other dogs and cats.
