“SNAP” - SHARP SHOOTERS SV RIVER BELLE SH - DECEASED

GET TO KNOW SNAP

Snap is our light switch dog. When she’s in the house she is off. When she’s in the field she is on.

Snap will sleep on the couch all day long. We’ll feed her in the evening and then she goes out to go to the bathroom. She comes back in and puts herself to bed. We will try to get her to come out of the bedroom and go out one more time before bed, but she is always too groggy to get up and go out. Snap will sleep all night long, either in bed (her favorite) or on her dog bed (her second favorite), and then finally get up in the morning after we’ve taken care of all the other dogs in the house. We want to call her lazy, but when you see her in the field or at the pond the word doesn’t suit her at all!

In the field, Snap likes to hunt between 60 and 100 yards. She will hunt all day on three legs if she’s injured because she won’t stop hunting long enough to put her in the truck. She is one of our best wild bird-finding dogs and has guided hunts in Iowa, Kansas, and South Dakota. In the water, Snap is a machine. She has a powerful water entry and won’t stop retrieving ducks or bumpers even when she is all bristled up and shivering from the cold.

This incredible combination of a lazy, couch potato that will sleep through the morning alarm and a hard-charging, field and duck hunting machine is what makes Snap so special. Never have we found a dog with quite this level of calm, easy-going housedog and independent, driven hunting dog all in one package.
