"I admit, Ahsoka's a little rough around the edges, but with a great deal of training and patience… she might amount to something."- Anakin Skywalker

Ahsoka is the first Finnish Lapphund to join our little family and now has me completely sold on the breed. Soaks absolutely lives for balls and toys and certainly lives up to her nickname, Extreme Soakie! Everything Ahsoka does is at 100 miles an hour and although she loves a good cuddle in front of the TV, she is ready to go on a 5km run any time, day or night and is still keen for more! She loves to work at a fast pace and will let you know if things are not to her liking! She is an absolute joy to train and I can't wait to see what the future holds for my little party girl!  

Ahsoka recently made her debut in the Obedience and Agility rings and regularly competes in Flyball. She has also started Tracking training and is slowly gaining some experience in Sheep Herding when we find the time!
Ahsoka also regularly visits a local aged care facility as a Delta Therapy Dog and thoroughly enjoys all the attention! Ahsoka is also compaigning for her Neuter Championship.
