Registered Name:
Wind River Gila Tuff Stuff
Kennel Name: "Tuffy"
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: January 25, 1995
Place of Birth: Reserve, New
Mexico near the Gila Wilderness
Weight: 46 lbs
Lineage: Son of Rio and Cassie
Special Skills:
Tuffy is the program's lead dog. He is our fastest dog and best
barker. He is easy to shoot over and radio-track with. Tuffy is
also reliable off-leash and can be turned loose on bears.
Education Level:
Tuffy completed intermediate obedience and earned his Canine Good
Citizen Certificate. This certificate reflects Tuffy's obedience
level, the special ability to be affectionate with children, and
the temperament to work well with and among the public.
Personality:
"Wiley Coyote" best describes Tuffy. He's a trickster
and a joker. Tuffy likes to poke people in the behind when he wants
to play, and he loves to watch television if bears and dogs are
on. Tuffy has wide, wild eyes and he has no problem letting loose
and showing us his crazy side.
Special Note:
Tuffy survived being lost in the Gila Wilderness not once but twice
when he was just a puppy. When he was only 9 weeks old he was lost
for one week, and when he was 12 weeks old he was lost for three
weeks. We took him back from the owner who lost him and now he is
one of our best dogs. It is this toughness that earned him the name
"Tuffy."
