Aspen was an owner surrender at a local Humane Society. Her owners were moving and could not take her with them. We got Aspen from the local Humane Society. They did not want to see her staying in a kennel, so they called us as soon as they got her, to see if we could take her. She is a big tall girl. She has cropped ears that once in a while will both stand up the way they should, but mostly she is a crop failure with her left ear at half mast. It is very endearing. She is a very sweet tempered girl, though she can be a bit headstrong now and then. She is housebroken and reasonably well trained. She currently lives with 8 other dogs including 6 Danes; two of whom are blind, two of whom are deaf and blind; and two deaf Pit Bulls. She gets along with all of them just fine. She does counter surf but given her height, this simply means she is surfing at eye level. She is quiet though she can get playful and wild now and then. She is generally deferential to other dogs and to people and always tries to please.

Aspen is a Princess with a capital P, she is an extremely sweet affectionate girl but she is definitely used to being the Princess in her old home. She can be a bit possessive of her stuff and demanding when she wants something, but like any well educated royalty, she does it with style so it isn't really offensive. She is really quite the lady most of the time, but every now and then the puppy creeps out and she does something silly like chase her tail. Of course when she stops, she looks at you with this "what's wrong with you, all great royal families chase their tails now and then' look. Aspen is sweet, charming, endearing, and a very striking looking tall dog. He crop failure takes a bit of the edge off her royal image but in some ways it only accents it. She's sort of the Princess Di of the house around here, and of course you can't help but love Di, so you can't help but love her.

She is a good dog, with no faults. She is a wonderful dog and someone will be lucky to get her. She will become a friend and companion for life.
