Cooper

This is my big buddy Cooper. He was abused as a puppy and dropped at a shelter with his ear nearly missing. I think it gives him character :)

Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger. Shorthaired Pointer/ Yorkie and my current Jack Russell) I now have another DS, 4mo female, no name yet, tho I have a few in mind.
Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32.
Can't wait for all the snow to get gone! Spring is coming too slow this year!

I agree, he looks cool like this, even when something tragic caused it, but he has a new life now :cool:

Thanks everyone! He's been a great pup. He's my first dog so it's definitely been an adjustment :shock:

He's super smart, sometimes too smart for his own good. The abuse has made him pretty skittish around people but he loves other dogs and does a happy dance whenever we get close to the dog park or daycare :lol:
