I designed him as a Border Collie/German Sheperd mix. Basically he has the build of a German Sheperd, but his markings are Border Collie and his fur is slightly longer. I designed him as if he was/used to be part of the army, you can adjust things to your liking if he's not. He collar includes his honorary ranking (I made it Captain though you can change that). I tried to make his accessories as canine friendly as possible. He has a grenade belt on his upper foreleg, so that the grenades are in easy reach of his mouth. He has a similar one on his other leg, except that one has a specialized gun with an elongated trigger that he can set off with his mouth. The legwarmers are to help with camoflauge, and have elastic on the top and bottom so they stay on. They are reversable, one side being forest camo and the other side being night camo. His 'blanket' is lightweight and made to reflect heat so Grenadier doesn'tget too hot. It has a flap in the middle. When the flp is on his left side it is night camo. When it'son his right it's forest camo.The flap stays in place with velcro. The top feather is a brown thrasher tail feather, and its mainpupose is to hide the red feather. He can lso drop it if he has to go into hiding, to let the army know he is safe. The red-dyed feather is to drop if he is in danger.
