Personality:
Tasman has two great loves in life: her tennis ball and YOU! And honestly, it's a pretty close competition. 🎾 This girl lives for a game of fetch, proudly chasing her ball and bringing it back to you like she's delivering the world's most precious gift. It's her favourite way to spend time with her favourite people, and she's always keen for another round! When those little legs finally run out of steam, she'll happily flop into your lap for a well deserved recharge before she's ready to go again. Tasman is the perfect mix of playful energy and affectionate cuddles, with a whole lot of love packed into one gorgeous girl.

Ideal home:
Â
Tasman is looking for a home that will help her build confidence and develop the skills she needs to thrive. She's an enthusiastic girl who can sometimes get a little overstimulated, so she'll benefit from someone who can recognise when she's getting carried away and help her learn to slow down and settle. Ongoing training, confidence building and appropriate socialisation will help her navigate new experiences and make good choices, while working on impulse control will teach her that she doesn't always have to do everything at once! With patience, consistency and plenty of encouragement, Tasman has so much potential to blossom into a wonderful companion.
