Ashiki is my most gorgeous "show princess" - she is very laid back and her quiet nature makes her a pleasure to take along to various Pet Expos, and to live with, but has proved very hard for me in the show ring!

Ashiki was my first show dog and therefore has had to put up with a very novice handler for most of her show career.  But, despite my handling, she was titled at 17 months of age in tough competition.  She also completed her Endurance Title with ease. 

Ashiki is now semi-retired from showing, much to her absolute delight.
