My old standard schnauzer, Sparky. He was a dog w/ a human brain. VERY smart. This dog was very active, knew more commands and hand gestures than just about any other dog I knew that wasn't a service/military/police trained k9. Loved to swim as you can see here. Could jump off the diving board on command...or would do it himself for fun. Had unlimited amount of fun w/ that dog in the summers over the yrs. Unbelievably athletic for his size. great p4p all around dog.
Only thing bad about this dog was greeting people at the front door when someone would ring the doorbell. Or esp when people would come through the back gate, many people did because that's where the pool was. This breed is extremely territorial and are at first weary to strangers by nature. When someone comes into the yard he would alert, bark, growl, but it wasn't an aggressive act, he was just alerting us, but it can be intimidating to strangers he's not familiar with because he stands his ground. Once in the clear, he was a great dog to get along with.
