Ash reminds us of the best little Chubby Boy Scout who wants nothing more than to please. He is extremely social and has done great with dogs of all sizes, sexes, and temperaments. He is generally calm in the kennel and loves affection from his person. Ash pulls a little on the leash and needs to be reminded not to jump sometimes - but is very friendly and trainable. He is truly a one size fits all dog as we have not seen him be in any circumstances that he didnt absolutely thrive in. Ash is a young soul - but is a mature dog who will correct a dog who isn't being respectful if he needs to, but quickly returns to his normal playful state. We walked Ash on leash through our cat room - he got swatted at - and ran away! Ash would do best in a home with another dog friend and someone ready to live a moderately active lifestyle.
Ideal Home: Ash would do best in a home that allows him on the couch / bed / and any other place his people are relaxing ( as he loves to cuddle ). He would like a medium energy level dog friend who can respectfully play with him.
