He can hump if given the opportunity. KNOWN WITH CATS: We do not currently know how they are with cats. He has expressed a high level of prey drive while on walks so it might be best to put him a home without the kitties. KNOWN WITH KIDS: Copper did well with the newborn in the house. We think he will do well in a home with children. KNOWN COMMANDS: Sit, done, come, wait and kennel. KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING &/OR CRATING: Fully housebroken and crate trained.

With an estimated weight of 50 lbs, Copper is the perfect blend of strength and affection, ready to steal the hearts of all who cross his path. In the realm of canine camaraderie, Copper is a social butterfly, displaying a friendly demeanor towards his fellow four-legged friends. However, he may need a little assistance in regulating his excitement, as he's been known to engage in humping behavior if given the opportunity. With proper guidance and training, Copper will learn to navigate social interactions with grace and ease. While his feelings towards cats remain unknown, Copper has exhibited a high level of prey drive while on walks, suggesting that a home without feline companions may be the best fit for him. When it comes to children, Copper has proven himself to be a gentle and patient soul, thriving in the presence of a newborn in his previous home. With his sweet nature and friendly disposition, we believe Copper would make an excellent addition to a family with children. In terms of training, Copper is already well-versed in basic commands such as sit, down, come, wait, and kennel. His eagerness to learn and please, coupled with his love for treats and playtime, make him a prime candidate for further training and bonding with his new family. Fully housebroken and crate trained, Copper is a model citizen both indoors and out, making him a breeze to care for in any household setting.
