My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I met Tacko today and enjoyed him way more than I expected to! He`s the model of fun and charming and he has such an upbeat personality. Here`s what I discovered about him:

-He`s super friendly and social. He thinks everyone is his best friend.
-He`s incredibly smart. He knows all the tricks: Sit, Stay, Paw, Down, Roll Over.
He`s easy to leash up, handle, and walk. He`s curious when he sees other dogs but is not reactive. He has a brisk walk and keeps pace with his handler; he only pulls when he wants to check out a smell.
-He`s very playful and lively and kind of goofy. He likes splashing around in the kiddie pool and he especially loves biting at the water as it comes out of the hose. He enjoys chewing on toys - he does need sturdy ones because he can make the plush ones explode!
-He gets great pleasure from treats and takes them very gently.
-He`s well-mannered, easy-going and tolerant. He always comes when called; he easily allows me to check his teeth, feet and ears; he`s the kind of dog you can take to public places and know you don`t have to worry about his behavior.
-He`s a great mix of energetic combined with calm and mellow.
-He appreciates human companionship and is very loving; he has no space requirements and he loves to be touched and he gives excellent kisses.
