Profile:
Ashby is a dog who doesn't understand why you don't treat him like a human. However, despite his human like quality, he seems to live for the pool, so much so, he suffers from mildew dog smell.

He has been faithful to one toy most of his life, and that would be the water Kong. This has been the only toy he would retrieve until the Easy Glider.

He is a connoisseur of bones, or bone treats, however, he only likes one type of dog food with a particular flavor. He sleeps under the bed or below your feet as you sit on the couch and is very polite dog. He has no wish to be the Alpha dog and becomes a bit neurotic at times. Ever since he was a puppy he's been a high-energy dog and will let you know if you are not keeping up with his energy output! He is also our dog who will intently watch TV especially if there are animals on screen. Watch out for the TV when the cat or dog commercials come on because he tells those cats or dogs in no uncertain terms that he is there!

As a product tester he is a hard one to win over, the product has to be very entertaining, durable or in the case of treats, tasty.
