Ashi

Ashi is a gentle giant in the making! He loves to be everywhere you are and is deliriously happy to be the centre of your attention. He is a sweet, vocal, gentle boy with a natural tendency towards lounge lizarding.

Ashi can be a bit clumsy, his big paws often trip him up but it doesn't faze him - he often acts like it's on purpose! His beautiful, soft black and white coat invites you to give him the pats he adores, and looking into his eyes is to see how much he loves you.

MY IDEAL HOME: I am dreaming of a family, with or without kids 5 years and up or other resident dogs or cats, who'll shower me with attention and let me stay inside as often as possible. I LOVE cuddles!

I will need to continue my training cause my foster mum says good manners in a puppy are essential, especially since I'm going to grow so big! Foster Mum says I am smart but willful, so my training is progressing fairly slowly - someone with heaps of patience and time would be perfect.

MY ENERGY LEVEL: I'm bit of a snuggle bug - I love being cuddled up next to (or on) my family members, but I do like play times also throughout the day. I happily play fetch and tug 'o war with my foster family and also play with their dog, and (gently!) with their cats.

MY SUITABILITY TO CHILDREN: Kids are AWESOME! I get a little excited when I meet new kids and sometimes bump them with my big body, but I'm learning to be calm with the small ones.

I met a young tyke recently who my foster mum said is five, and I loved getting pats and hugs from her and she loved me! A family with kids around this age and up would be amazing.

MY SUITABILITY TO CATS AND DOGS: I love my foster family's four cats (one is very shy and I only get to see her occasionally) and spend a lot of time playing and sleeping with my feline friend, Rojo. I also have a foster brother dog named Dyson who I love to follow and chase. I'm looking forward to spending more time with Dyson when I start going on walks soon!
