Adopted Cooper 10-22-07 from animal shelter in Southern Oregon. His striking beauty won my heart immediately. He was the perfect blend of german shepherd and collie.....Rin Tin Tin and Lassie all wrapped up together. He was smart, loving, hugely devoted to me. An extraordinary dog friend. He left us on 5-09-19. My heart is broken and our home feels empty. He truly was a great dog !!
