Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Cooper has calmed down considerably but is still not crazy about strangers. He likes everyone in our family now. I can put him in someone's lap and he won't bite them. But if a stranger reaches for him, he will still growl and bite. He does give a warning. Cooper is a 4 year old chiweenie. He will need an owner with dog experience and the ability to be Cooper's pack leader. Once Cooper accepts you, he is just awesome. He cuddles, he pushes his head against your chest for hugs, he lays on your lap or beside you...perfect pup!
