For those of you who are familar with Snapper, you might think this is just another boring photo of Sanpper and me, but in reality, this is one of Snapper's off spring at one year of age. This puppy is amazing in that it is the splitting image of his father, Snapper. When Snapper had his last litter, a nearby neighbor bought one of his puppies. Ocasionally, I stop by and visit with little Snapper. He's a great dog just like his father. Whitefish, MT.
