Copper

• Very clever has learned lots of commands
• Loves cuddles and follows you around and will lay on the floor beside you wherever you go. he is happy to sit on his mat but also loves a cuddle on the couch if invited up
• House trained.
• Very well-mannered around food. He does not get fed inside or off the bench/ plates. He knows he gets food from his food bowl outside and will wait until told to start.
• Has been around a few dogs in the backyard (all smaller than him) and he enjoys playing with buddies
• Walks on lead well (apart from when he sees a rabbit, then he will chase it. He is very strong so hold on!
• Has good recall (although only tested in the carers huge backyard as he has not been off the lead in a public place)
• Copper has a mean bark and will bark at anyone coming to the carer’s house. Once he knows it is a friend he is okay although he won’t stop barking until the visitor gives him a pat, then he settles back to normal and wants to be their best friend. He never barks at people on his walks.
• He doesn’t mind being outside, and is happy to be in the backyard
• Not fully tested with kids. He has seen children on walks through the park, a couple of kids on their bikes and some other kids playing with sticks – Copper just walked passed like they weren’t there – he wasn’t interested in wanting to play with them. He is a strong dog so probably best with no kids under 5 years old.
• He has seen other dogs walking on the lead too and Copper is happy to say hello then move on – he seems very excited at first but once they say hello he mellows down and walks away after a minute.
• Healthy, happy dog. Flea and worm treated, vaccinated, microchipped and desexed.

Copper will need an active owner/s with lots of room to run and play outside. He will thrive with someone who knows how to continue his training and keep him mentally and physically stimulated.
