Field Notes

Description:

It is a sad fact that these wonderful dogs are looked down on.

Aspin, or Askals as locally called, are loving and loyal dogs. They make a wonderful playmate of the children in the same manner that it makes an ideal hunting or jogging buddy of the master. Generally outdoor dogs, but are accustomed to being tied in the yard to guard the family and the property. These dogs are not very territorial. An Aspin will not fail to warn the family of strangers by barking but once the visitor is accepted inside the house, the dog will acknowledge the stranger to as a guest of the family. These dogs are not dog aggressive. Aspins tolerate other animals as well. It is common for this dog to befriend smaller pets of the family.

This dog may not be pedigreed but they make wonderful companions. These dogs may not have the gregarious personalities of other purebred dogs but the loyalty and the devotion it gives to its human family can never be doubted.
