Original: Snoop is a high-energy, fun-loving dog. He loves to run in open fields and will chase any stray critters he finds. He pulls on a leash, comes when called only when it suits him, and jumps up to welcome his people home, so obedience training is a good plan for his near future. Inside, this boy loves to play with his toys and anyone who will get down to his level.
Very nice house manners are one of Snoop’s strengths. He is perfectly house-trained and does not counter-surf. He rests happily in his crate or anywhere else as long as he can see his family. Snoopy has learned that the furniture is for humans, unless, of course, he is the only one home. His foster parents are working on that issue. He is happy to sleep in a dog bed near his people but prefers to share their bed. Either way, all get a good night’s sleep.
Snoop makes it his job to know where everyone is in the house at all times. Snoop considers all strangers to the property an immediate threat until told otherwise by his family. Once his family opens the door, he attacks with excited, playful kisses. His bark is fierce, but his temperament is loving and playful.
Car rides are great adventures to Snoopy. He does well on long trips and quick errands. Overall, he loves to be with his people, whether he is getting a good scratch under the ears or riding along for errands. He will be a great addition to any active Springer-loving family!
