August 21 and 22, 2010 ARBA Garden State Classic - Tessa  completed her points for her ARBA Championship.

Newly retired, Tessa is a beautiful bitch out of Miel (ARBA CH Divisa de la Voz de su Amo) and Chuka (ARBA Master Ch Unkashikic de Ubrique). Agile and smart as a whip, she is affectionate beyond belief to any she is introduced to as a friend. Tessa loves to prove her prowess by her ability to leap barriers and scale rocks.

Her pups have gone to homes doing agility, small game hunting, obedience training and even working on a deep sea fishing party boat. We hope to continue her legacy through her daughter and newest addition, Highview's La Marquesa Chismosa - better known as Pippa.

She is our foundation bitch. Her hips are OFA good, CHG carrier, and she is clear of prcd-PRA. She is FCPR and AKCFSS registered.
