Sniper was a compact, deep chested apricot brindle. He had a poor top-line and short tail. His bone was large, his feet perfect and his head broad with a good stop. He had a wonderful, sweet, very gentle disposition. He had two very strong personality quirks that he has passed on to most of his offspring and grand kids (he was a "smiler" and loved to swing his great head back and forth while "talking" loudly). Sniper was the easiest dog to train that I have ever known. I'd show him one time what I wanted, and he'd learn it perfectly. His descendants are known for their sweet natures and high trainability. He was owner trained and handled to his CD and Championship and worked in Schutzhund with great enthusiasm.

Sniper was a very healthy dog all of his life. He was a swimming fanatic and regularly swam completely under water to fetch rocks. He was gentle and tolerant of all animals and children. Sniper had one fear - loud noises such as fireworks and thunder. In July of 1990, he escaped from my parents fenced acreage (where he lived most of his life as my mother's protector) when the neighborhood brats were setting off firecrackers. No one was home to soothe him. He ran to escape the noise and was hit and killed by a car on the highway. A very premature death and an undeserved one. He is greatly missed by all his friends and family.
