Introduction Challenge

1. Post a photo of your dog(s) and tell us about them! Introduce your dog(s) to us!

This is Astharoshe :two_hearts:

Asthe is a 3 year old Australian Cattle Dog mutt who is perfect. :heart_eyes:

Her only health issue is:

2. How did you come across or find your dog(s)?

I found Asthe formally known was Katalin at my local shelter.

All I know about Asthe and her 3 sisters past is that they were found wondering the streets as strays. That's it.

Asthe is the poofy one in the front and the one in the back is Addy. :two_hearts:

This is Asthe (with the harness) and her other sister, Nikita.

3. What are their likes?

- Fetch

- Long walks in the woods

- Humans

- Attention

- Food

- Running

- Playing

4. What are their dislikes?

- Baths

- Water

- High jumping

- Not getting the ball first

5. Does your dog(s) participate in any dog sports or activities? If not then what kind of exercises does your dog(s) like to do?

She does not right now.

She likes weight pulling, running with her weight vest, playing fetch and going to long walks in the woods.

6. Tell us 3 facts about your dog(s).

- Her personality is soft

- She can be trained using either praise, food or

  toys.

- She's a little head shy (has been since I bought

  her).

Use to she would always turn her head and

  move it away from hands but now she is

  mostly great with it and often times seeks it

  out. It took some work though when she was a

  puppy, a lot of positive reinforment with treats

  and touch.

7. Tell us an embarrassing moment your dog(s) had caused. If you don't have one or wish not to tell us then no need to answer this question.

Not all that embarrassing but when my twin and I went to pick up Saya from her previous foster owners Asthe (she was only around 6 or 7 months old at the time I think) got excited by a plastic sack blowing in the wind and pulled me nearly to my face.

My whole arm and upper back popped loudly of that tells you how hard she pulled me and it HURT. This all happened right in front of them too so to me it was a little embarassing. Asthe's not like that anymore thanks to training, thank goodness. That was also the point at which I realized she needs to be better trained.

8. Where does your dog like to sleep? What position do you catch them sleeping in? Share a photo example if you can!

Example: In a ball, upside down, on their side, contortionist, etc.

Asthe normally sleeps either in a ball or on her side.

9. What kind of dog gear does your dog normally wear? Post some pictures of your dog(s) gear for us!

Example: Leashes, collars, harnesses, vests, etc.

-15 foot leash (Use a lot)

- 6 foot leather leash (Use a lot)

- Choke chain (Use a lot)

- Herm Sprenger Prong Collar (Don't use often)

- E-Collar Technologies: The Educator with

  bungee strap (Use semi-often)

- Tabs (2 are pictured here) (Use often)

10. Does your dog(s) know any tricks? If so feel free to post a picture or video of it if you want!

Asthe doesn't know any tricks really other than shake and I don't have a video of it or a picture sorry!

And for cute factor!

Here is Asthe as a wet and sleepy puppy!
