Cooper II Available for Adoption

We have Cooper II (not our Cooper breeding sire) available for adoption. He is 8mo old, the son of Rainey and Keagan. He was given back when his owner was not prepared for a dominate Cairn personality and wasn't willing to work through it. (she stated she wished I would have told her Cairns were so different than labs- so we understand her expectations were not accurate) I have assessed his personality and behavior. He has an alpha personality and is very outgoing, playful, happy go lucky, energetic, loving, and independent. He's delightful with strangers and although he gets along with other dogs, I would not place him in a home with another dominant personality dog. He is neutered and up to date on healthcare. He had a loving home, but I believe she didn't maintain a dominant role and he may be the type to challenge ranking with his owner. We're looking for a home with someone who is looking for this type of personality, who is experienced with dogs and dog behavior, and is able to maintain dominance. I have had no issues with Cooper and have redirected him easily. But I'm an assertive dog person.
