Miss Winkles Pet of the Week of Sept. 26: Asher
He’s a smiley and silly little pit bull who is also a little snuggly: meet Asher! He’s a bit of a Miss Winkles celebrity after his recent trip to Fresno State to enjoy a football game; he had a blast. He loves to meet new people and he even got a few kisses on his adorable little face, too. Asher dazzled it up, taking photos with some dancers, parachuters and a few fans.
He’s small for a pitty, but makes up for his little stature with his stocky body and big personality. He comes into every situation head-on and shows a real go-get-‘em attitude toward new adventures. Asher has come a long way with his training and walks very well on leash. He’s highly food-motivated, and learns quickly when there’s a treat involved. We do like to take him out to play with other dogs, though he is selective with who he likes, and shows particular preference for other large-breed females. Because of his selective nature, we don’t recommend him for households with small dogs or cats.
Asher loves to play with kids and he’s recommended for older children, since he loves to roughhouse. He can be gentle and a lap dog, or rowdy and playful depending on the atmosphere, so anyone looking for a jack-of-all-trades kind of guy would do well with him. He enjoys love and attention, so stop on by and spend a little time getting to know one of our favorite furry friends today!
