Owner Info: Booker is an adorable, cuddly and very sweet young Cockapoo.  Booker's owners contacted us because they are looking for a new home for Booker with less activity and fewer dogs.  They tell us that a quiet home would be best for him, and that because of their jobs, there is too much activity in their home.  They have had Booker for about three years.

Booker is an indoor dog with run of the house, he is housebroken and leash trained.  He's a smart little fellow and knows basic obedience such as Sit, Down, and Stay.  He's also good with recall.

Booker is good with both men and women, and male and female dogs. His owners write, "He is shy around new dogs, but warms up in a day or two."  His owners do not have cats, but tell us he would be find with them.  

Booker does not like to share treats or food, and may grumble at another dog.  He has never grumbled at a person and has never bitten or snapped.  

Booker's owners tell us he adapts well to new situations.  "Booker does amazingly well. Several people have asked, 'are you sure he is blind?'"

Booker's owners write that he's in good health, and they gave us more details about his blindness:  "Booker was not born blind but because of an accident/injury he had to have both eyes removed. He could not see when we first adopted him and we tried to help control his pain, but could not and the vet suggested removing his eyes. (This surgery was done by a special vet not the one he is currently seeing.)"

Booker's owners want us to know how much he loves to cuddle!  "Booker is a real sweetheart and would like nothing more than to spend his day on your lap."
