Lol! Sorry, being on my ipad I can't multitask and I was in the chat.

I'm going to stick by my "very possibly!". That long lean stretch up doesn't quite look right, but depending on what the cross is....

And I have no idea as to the genetics of the curly tail, which she definetly doesn't have, but she does look very TMish in other ways.

I'm stickin with she's 1/2 Muppet, that's what I tell people anyway.

Her tail *IS* having a difficult time--it doesn't know what it wants to do & it grew really fast!

her 1st "big girl furs" were on her tail-right in the middle was a lock of dog hair that just shined--it looks like someone broke her tail-like there is a crook in her tail--she moves it like a foreign appendage too.
It is never up or down, it's sort of in the middle like an after thought.

I do believe Tessa was caught in a trap due to the scarring on her back leg/foot-I also wonder if her tail got it too, but I do not feel anything odd-it's the way the hair/fur lays, I dunno really.

Well, after seeing some puppy pics of TM on this site--I can tell you she is not as 'heavy boned' as your purebreds--but she is heavier boned than most female rotties.

I do not have issues getting her to eat, but I have had probs keeping weight eeven though she is gaining--with her feeling too skinny in the bum/hip area.
Her rear has to catch up to her front, that seems to be the way she grows--except that tail shot out of nowhere-almost over night, it did curl more before. She has wavy fur on her tail & a curly Q right at the tip.

She looked so huge when I 1st got her-due to all of that puppy fluff-but I couldn't feel fat pads on her spine/hips, so I went through a bunch of dog foods, I feed her 3x dat thru the week & 4x day on weekends.

Had her on solid gold wolf king, but had to buy sg wolf cub last week because store was out-am gonna switch back to wolf king or maybe orijen.

She has blown her puppy coat, it is now more similar to a longer rottie fur with a super shiny sheen, though it doesn't feel like rottie hair-it still feels more like fur--much softer.

I bet Tammy (Mooshi's mum) might have some pics of Moo she can post for reference. Moo & Tessa are about the same color.

Broccolini's pup is a black and tan and very close in age and female too. She's not posted tons of pics, but there are a few around.
