Aspen is a large bitch, measuring 25 inches at the withers.  She has a willing, pleasing temperament, and approaches everything with incredible enthusiasm.  Earlier this year, Aspen teamed up with a Junior Handler, and went on to several Best Junior awards.  Now, she is enjoying her retirement hanging out on the couch, chasing her ball (and various yard birds) and instigating  games of "catch me if you can" with the other dogs.
