For a New Family to Know:
Ashanti is described as being friendly, affectionate and mellow. She spends most of the day laying around but will seek attention when she wants her belly to be rubbed. She has been an indoor dog, sleeps in her own bed, and eats dry food. She is house trained to go both outside and on wee wee pads. She is well behaved when left alone in the house and walks both on and off leash for exercise.
