Joule & Danny's 2005 Litter "Tess"
- Sold
Each day our puppies are individually played with, handled, socialized,
crate trained and potty trained. Stimulating their mind at a young age
helps ensure our puppies grow up to be very well rounded adults.
Starting at 6 weeks old we spend time each day documenting each pup's
development.
Tess is the most affectionate puppy in the
litter. She wants to snuggle on you all the time. Tess reminds me of
Joule. Joule's litter name was Buffy (as in Vampire) and
Joule was always chewing on someone. Tess does mouth our fingers and
toes a lot and has many behaviors just like her mom. I really like her
temperament and overall structure and she is my pick if I were to keep
one. Tess should stay small like her mom, around 18-19" and 35#.
Our pups are Temperament tested at 6 weeks as recommended by the
authorities by a professional dog trainer. Using the results ensures you
pick a pup with the right temperament for you.
