Oh, hello you! Copper here.
Retriever rules: tennis balls are sacred, puddles are pools, and you are my entire world.
I'm on the bigger side — which, if you ask me, is just more of me to hug.
I'm a San Jose local, just waiting on the right person.
Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.
Who knows — by Thanksgiving I might be napping on somebody's couch. I'd love it to be near you, one way or another.
Anyway, thank you for reading all the way to the end. Not everyone does, and I noticed. — Copper
