My name is Cooper, I am a 1 year old Male mixed Bernese Mountain Dog.  I currently weigh 80lbs.  My forever home should include a fenced in yard for me to go out in. I am well mannered, house broken, lovable and I love the outdoors.  I would make a great therapy/comfort dog as I am well trained in the house.  I do not jump on counters or furniture, I do not grab food out of your hands or off the table as this says how well-mannered I am.  I am Cuddly, loving and give gentle bear hugs.
Remember I love attention and will need plenty of food.

About the breed:
Bernese Mountain Dog Temperament. The Bernese mountain dog is an easygoing, calm family companion (that is, after he leaves his adolescent stage). He is sensitive, loyal and extremely devoted. He is gentle with children and often reserved with strangers. He generally gets along well with other dogs and pets.
