Tula

When Tula arrived, she had minimal experience with anything (toys, the house, leashes, petting, etc.). She is approx. 10 months old. Tula looks like a Dutch Shepherd is approx. 65lbs.

She is very sweet, although a little greedy when it comes to chew bones or food. She is feed them in her kennel. Any household altercations are due to one dog trying to take something away from another dog or getting in another dog's space while chewing on bones.

Tula, who is very loving, a bit shy, is the more independent one. She prefers to go outside by herself to chew on chew bones. At first she seemed less confident, but at the vet she was very confident and at ease. Tula has a scar on one of her hind legs. It looks like she may have been tethered? When she first arrived, she had an issue with that leg, but it is no longer noticeable. The scar is permanent.

We are working on everything right now: jumping up, counter-surfing, and getting in the trash. When she first arrived, she got into everything. Again, this was mainly nervous inexperience. Someone interested in her will need to understand that with confidence and consistency, the bad behavior dwindles. It is not entirely gone, but it is already much better.

She is a beautiful, sweet, intelligent dog, with some focused, consistent training, she could be perfect. She is good with dogs and cats, it seems she spent her early life mainly in kennels. Day by day, we are seeing improvements. She does not seem to have any traits or habits that cannot be corrected.

She feel safest in her kennel.
