COOPER is a diamond in the
rough needing an experienced,
consistent companion willing
to put in the time and effort
with both formal training and
exercise. COOPER loves people,
is enthusiastic, and needs some
clear direction and boundaries
in order for him to thrive. He
can be selective with his doggie
friends so a meet-and-greet is
required. This beautiful boy is
worth the effort and deserves a
loving family! Might want to get
COOPER his own personal pool
for in between those trips
to the lake!
