For sure a working lines snapping turtle but note the very nice conformation. Too bad you couldn't get a stacked photo. The other turtle that peed all over was probably a box turtle with very poor nerve.
Snappers *do* remove fingers etc. When I was a kid one of the neighbor kids lost half of his index finger grabbing a snapper.
My girlfriend held out a long 1-inch thick stick to one hoping he would grab it so she could pull him across the road and he snapped the stick in half with one bite. She finally flipped him over and pushed him across the road with a broom. He was pissed but not squished by a car so no cause for complaint.
Very smart to get the dogs out of there beetree. Don't ever pick one up--they have long necks that stretch way out and you can kiss a finger goodbye.
Nice to see Rhino can track. Guess he doesn't realize he's a "worthless" blue GSD. Really fine GSD.

Kim,
I needed to research some holes in Ms. Snappers pedigree. I found out a few things.
Apparently, Louisiana does not have my kind of Snapping Turtle. How do you like that? That just about busts the rumor of those no-off-switch Lousiana Workinglines Turtles!
However, they do have triple-sized Alligator Snapping turtles in addition to the real alligators. You guys can keep those there, and I'll stick with what I call, INAWS, Indigenous Northern American Workingline Snappers. I have determined my turtle has been holding true to form, since before the time of the Columbus's landing. Their reputation is well earned and documented for making small appendages disappear from their sudden beak attack and the bone splitting bite force applied to a sorry victim.
If anyone is going to Philly for the championships, it is too late to eat them at the famous Bookbinders Restaurant in Philly, for turtle soup! Unfortunately after 116 years they closed their doors from bankruptcy. I have actually had turtle soup at the original Bookbinders Restaurant in Philly.
In conclusion, I must scratch off any Czech WL connection, too. You'll not be having to worry about any new competition for any Canadian Pirates, that will be a relief for you to know, I am sure.
Susie has since suggested we give Ms. Snapper an AD title; she did earn it, is my feeling. I think it is only fair.
JonRob,
Rhino says you are his kind of guy!

Rhino is my kind of GSD--nice level topline, big sturdy bones, active but not a maniac, smart, real good-natured but focused enough to do some real work. Might be fun to continue the tracking with him. Just get the kids or their friends to hide and see if he tracks them. I'm not a Leerburg fan but their tracking in drive video shows a great way to teach a dog with good tracking ability to track. Its not put together very well but the advice is solid. Its real world tracking not sport tracking.
Can you post a real nice headshot (looking at the camera) of Rhino?
