Aspin
Small–Medium · 15–40 lbs
Short for "Asong Pinoy" (Filipino dog), the Aspin is the indigenous street dog of the Philippines that has developed through centuries of natural selection in the tropical environment. Unlike purpose-bred dogs, the Aspin's broad genetic diversity gives it a natural hardiness and resilience that many purebred dogs lack.
The Aspin is resilient, intelligent, and highly adaptable — making it one of the best options for first-time owners and budget-conscious families in the Philippines. With low grooming needs (20/100), a solid friendliness score of 75/100, and a lifespan of 12–18 years, this hardy dog thrives in most living situations and tends to be remarkably healthy.

Common questions answered before you buy

With a trainability score of 70/100 and a low stubbornness level, they pick up commands quickly, respond well to positive reinforcement, and don't tend to push boundaries.

The Aspin is a lower-energy breed that does well with around 30 minutes of light-to-moderate exercise daily. They're content with short walks and indoor play. That said, don't skip exercise altogether — even low-energy dogs need daily movement to stay physically and mentally healthy.

The most frequently reported health concerns in the Aspin include Generally healthy and Parasites if unvaccinated. Before buying, ask breeders for health clearances on the parents — reputable breeders will have OFA (hips/elbows) or equivalent certifications on file. Budget for annual vet visits and consider pet health insurance from puppyhood.
Yes — the Aspin adapts well to apartment living as long as their exercise needs are met. They don't need a large yard to be happy. Daily walks and exercise sessions (around 30 minutes of light-to-moderate exercise daily) keep them calm indoors.
