Aslan is quite a character. What he lacks in size, he makes up for in personality. He is very loud and very dramatic. Sophie bought him from a responsible breeder in Bournemouth in 2015. As a puppy, he was never a chewer or destroyer… but after a few months it became clear - he was a barker! He’s a very loud boy, and will bark at anyone, anything, or indeed, for no reason at all. He enjoys meeting other little dogs but is a bit worried about bigger ones (small man syndrome). He loves every human he’s ever met, and he’ll be your best friend for a biscuit or some fuss. He is full of energy and will run circles round you if he’s excited, yet somehow quite often refuses to go out for a walk! He is a clever boy and knows a bunch of tricks, but wasn’t keen when he tried agility and went under the jumps instead of over them... He loves a lie in with Sophie and his brothers, and would probably be quite happy staying at home all day, but he still gets to go out on adventures with Sophie, Sabre and Patch - it’s a good life isn’t it, Aslan!
