Registered Name: Wind River Tessu
Kennel Name: "Tess"
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: August 13, 1995
Place of Birth: Heber City, Utah
Weight: 57 lbs
Lineage: Daughter of Rio and Cassie

Special Skills: Tess is the first bear conflict dog to be placed with Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks. Tess's owner, Tim Manley, is Northwest Montana's Grizzly Bear Management Specialist. Tess has been chasing bears since she was eleven months old. Because she is very reliable off-leash, she is one of the dogs we can turn loose on a bear if we need to.

Education Level: Tess has earned her intermediate obedience certificate and her Canine Good Citizen Certificate. This certification reflects Tess's obedience level, the special ability to be affectionate with children, and the temperament to work well with and among the public.

Personality: Tess is one of the happiest dogs we know: she doesn't walk or run, she bounces. She is the also the most musical dog on the team, comprising the woodwind section of the kennel while the rest of the dogs do percussion. In other words, she loves a good howl.
