Looking for a Dane-sized heart in a more manageable package? Look no further than Copper, the pint-sized powerhouse with a Copper merle coat that'll steal your heart!
General Personality:
Copper's a goofy boy, like Bambi on ice – all hoppy, floppy, and legs everywhere! He's got a voice and isn't shy about using it, especially when he needs to go out (cue the adorable nose boops). But here's the twist: Copper moonlights as a squirrel watchdog – nothing escapes his keen gaze!
Disposition:
Foster siblings? No problem! Copper's the social butterfly who flits between x-large and small pups. Cats? He's chill – both indoors and out. Horses? Well, they make him a tad nervous. Outside playtime? His jam! And when work calls, Copper's content to pile up on his dog bed, supervising his foster mom's productivity.
Stranger Danger and Food Motivation:
Copper's cautious around new faces, but he aced the pet sitter test (thanks to those pre-meetings). Food? His love language! From inhaling kibble (starvation history, poor guy) to soft-mouthed treat-taking, he's a foodie. Just keep hats away – he's not a fan!
Ideal Home:
Soft-spoken vibes and lower activity levels suit Copper. He's selective about his people, but sharing care duties helps him warm up. Kids? Uncertain, but older ones or a calm household might be his groove.
Training:
Housebroken? Check. Leash manners? Impeccable (no pulling!). Name recall? Kiss noises do the trick. Commands? Sit, lay down, no, kennel, bed, and let's go – he's a quick study!
Likes:
Ear scratches, cuddles, plush beds, and his foster mom's pocket (yes, really!). Plus, Copper's the chase-and-wrestle champ with his pack.
Dislikes:
Car rides – but he's compact enough for a lift. Reassuring pats ease his nerves. And hey, he's working on truck-jumping skills!
Favorite Toys:
His kevlar shark and soft steals from foster siblings. Reinforced fabric toys? Copper-approved (think Kong-type heavy canvas).
Fun Fact: Copper's convinced hats are alien headgear – keep him hat-free for a harmonious home!
