Cooper is adorable.  I LOVE his coat with the looser curls.  He is a Clancy/Ned combo!  How big is he? Ned is 28 pounds. Springers are just the best dogs, but too high energy for us now that we are older and our kids are grown and gone. Trucker is an especially appropriate name for a Springer. I must have lucked out with both of our doodles because they are not the high energy dogs so many doodle owners describe.

He really is a mix of Ned and Clancy.  Ned has more of the poodle body but Clancy has the retriever shorter legs, heavier body build. He weighs 60 pounds but isn't that much taller than Ned.  Cooper looks so puppyish but is only a year younger than Ned and Clancy.  He is just so cute.

We can "compare notes" anytime.  Cooper is a cutie.  We have a dog named Copper who stays with us frequently, and he is a large red labradoodle.
