Tess von Tavanne is a beautiful, intelligent 12-month-old black and silver German Shepherd.  Tess is turning into a well behaved, lovely young lady under the tutelage of her foster family. She is now housebroken and has pretty good house manners. She still has her puppy outbursts of energy but she has settled down well. She walks well on the leash. Tess is good with the teenager in the family and the younger son. Also a baby comes to the house with the babysitter and she is fine also. They have an older female dog and an older male, Tess does fine, she loves other dogs. She meets new people well, but when some workmen were working outside she let them know she was on duty with a big deep bark. Besides having such a wonderful personality, you couldn’t find a more beautiful German Shepherd anywhere.
