Tango is the most playful and friendliest of the Colville dogs. He has the body of a malamute, the temperament of a siberian and the head of - well, he kinda has a bird head when he cocks his head and looks at you. Tango sizes people and dogs up quickly and is ready to play all of the time!! None of the Colville dogs who are listed (Wookie, Smiley, Tango, Samson and Delilah) have any deep-seated abuse-type issues. They simply were harshly treated, and are now learning to trust humans.

Tango has learned that part! He loves everybody, after some initial sniffing. Give him a piece of hot dog and he is your best friend forever. And he will STEAL those treats right out of your pocket. And STEAL your glove and giggle while he plays Keep Away. This dog is a hoot and very very smart.

Tango pushes other dogs to play and if a dog tries to fight, he yelps and runs away. He is extremely adept socially but must have a playmate to keep him occupied. Like the others, he completely understands how to live in a pack and is very happy to do so.

The puppy in him shows all of the time.

Tango is in Cle Elum.

The Colville dogs were seized from a *husky-dog* puppy mill in the woods outside of Spokane in September. 36 dogs were seized; malamutes, siberians and mal/sibe mixes. WAMAL has the malamutes and some of the mal/sibe mixes.
