Pros
* The ultimate Therapy Dog and family companion, wise and gentle
* Goofy fun nature, they love to make you laugh! * Sensitive affectionate, loving, empathetic and respond intuitively to human emotion * Sociable and non aggressive, patient with children * Intuitive, eager to please and thrive on training * Seek a deep connection with human eyes * No Shedding, No doggie smell even when wet * Respond best to positive but firm and consistent training methods * Three sizes - Miniature Medium and Standard There should be no difference other than their size. I have heard that some are saying that smaller sizes are not suitable as Therapy dogs due to higher energy levels. This should not be so. Cons * Can be too smart for their own good and need early training to reach their full potential. But early consistent training is essential from day one with such a smart and intuitive breed. * They have an irrepressible sense of humour. It can be hard to be firm with a goofy clownlike puppy who loves to make you laugh! * Cobberdogs are so intuitively in tune with your thoughts that until they have some training and know their place they can be cute and loving one minute and attention seeking baby brat children the next! * They're sensitive and their feelings are easily hurt. Always use their name to praise or reprove your puppy. If for instance you're yelling at the (human) kids, then your puppy will know he/she isn't the one in trouble and wonder why.
