I had one before but unluckily died early. I am planning to get one askal to be a companion of my mix doberman. Askals are one of the most talented dogs. I had one before but unluckily died early.

So I carry the pup to check and I felt that its body is starting to stiffen but its still breathing, or maybe its just to weak to move. I tried to make the puppy drink a water with sugar,hoping it'll give her energy but nothing happened. Right now I feel helpless for my pup because I don't know what to do,and even if I wanted to bring her to the vet,it was still 530am,hope she'll get trough this. ;( I have a 2months old pup which is a mix-bred of shit zui and a native dog,last night it was still healthy, early this morning my mother woke me up because she noticed that the pup is lying on her right side moaning and not responding,so I went outside to check and found the pup lying not responding to calls,but it was still breathing,and her eyes was still responsive,and also her tail is still wagging.

My 4-month old Aspin died yesterday and I cried. My mom's friend asked--"Bakit masyado kang affected eh diba askal lang ang aso mo?" I was outraged with what I heard. Although I am not surprised at all when people in this country react that way, I was still so upset. Just because my dog is an askal does that mean that he doesn't deserve all the love and care in the world?! We treated my dog as a family member and I took care of him 'til the last minutes of his life. If we don't know how to love our very own askals, who would? Every dog is special and should be treated fairly, may pedigree man or wala. I feel so bad that most people in this country have this kind of thinking, that dogs with pedigree should be treated extra special. It's even funny when I buy my askal some dog food, dentastix and dog shampoo, people always wonder why I spend so much eh askal lang daw sya. I just shake my head and feel sorry for those people na ganon mag isip. I couldn’t agree with you more. My 4-month old Aspin died yesterday and I cried.

Our beloved aspin is a distinct breed. A very hardy breed well adapted to our land. No need to cross with other "pure breeds".

I grew up in a large family which include a black aspin who became my playmate as I was the youngest and usually left in the house with no one to play with. He is a very loyal and playful fellow even when he reached his old age. He is a good mouse catcher, guard dog, an excellent swimmer, protector of my chickens and very nice with children. He also served as a fail-proof alarm clock when I was in elementary and high school, nudging me gently in the face whenever it is time to get up for school. He did all of these without any training, purely instinct. When he died in 1992 at the age of 13, I never had a dog thinking it is rare to find another one like my friend and also because of lack of time. I still love dogs though, and from time to time will borrow my neighbor's dog, also an aspin who they consider as stupid and useless. I am a diagnosed diabetic since 2000 with very unstable sugar level. In one instance, while peeing , I collapsed in the bathroom. I had no exact recollection of the events that transpired but my sister told me that the stupid neighbor's dog alerted her, guiding her to my room in the 2nd floor, frantically scratching and barking at the bathroom door. There they found me sitting on the floor, almost unconscious with cold and sweaty palms, my sugar level was very low. This only attest that even the most stupid aspin is still a dog full of talent. I am now in Toronto, a city where dogs of all sorts seem to outnumber humans. I am also considering having my own but I want it to be an aspin. The breed which saved my life.

I have always been looking for websites or discussion boards about askals/aspins. It inspires me so much to know there are people like me who cares about our native dogs. I have 2 dogs at the moment. 1st is an askal/aspin given to me by a college classmate and he is almost 10 years old now. We love him so dearly. 2nd one we have is a year old and was given to my brother ang sabi ay mini pincher daw so kinupkop, eh parang hindi naman. When people ask about our 2nd dog's breed I proudly tell them he is also an aspin! Everytime I see askals in the street chained or obviously not given enough care and love sobrang nalulungkot ako. As in. When I see news on TV about slaughtering of askals I am thinking violent things towards those who eat or kill those poor defensless dogs. Every night I would pray to God na sana He would protect them and that may there be more people who would stand up for them and fight for their sake. I could go on about my sentiments but I don't want to bore anybody. I would just like to thank this page and to those people here who shared their words of love to our native dogs. May God bless you all! Hi! I have always been looking for websites or discussion boards about askals/aspins. It inspires me so much to know there are people like me who cares about our native dogs.
