About Tessie

Tessie is a tiny, slender purebred puppy (just over a year)with a big personality! She is friendly and outgoing and very energetic - she loves zoomies around the yard, romping & wrestling with other dogs, pounces on toys like they are alive! All this activity with a slightly out of place hip. The vet indicates she was likely born with it or it happened during birth, but it doesn't causes her pain, and as she has gained much-needed weight and nutrition, she doesn't favor it. Tessie bunny-shops for acceleration and to go up stairs. She is house-training fairly well on a schedule but may have accidents when she gets excited. She doesn't know how to tell you. She needs a baby gate at the door to prevent bolting (wow she's fast!), daily walks to bond and learn to listen to you, and would benefit with a secure fenced area for exercise. A playmate would be excellent as long as he/she was bigger than her and tolerant - she tends to play rough. Tessie will sound an alert to sounds or strangers outside. Small children are not advisable due to her delicate bone structure and the risk of falling on her.
