The Philippine free-breeding native dog. No kennel club recognizes the Aspin as a breed, and it has no written standard. The name is a contraction of "asong Pinoy".
It is one of 375 dog breeds, varieties, and landraces in the IAGD Wiki catalogue. A dog of this breed registers in the IAGD like any other; the breed name is typed as free text on the record.

Recognition
No standard covers the Aspin. It has no written standard and no standard number in any body the catalogue follows. That is a fact about the population, not a gap in the record: a landrace is defined by where it comes from, not by a document.
Living with one
Every dog needs the same things whatever its breed: measured food and clean water, the vaccine series and the yearly visit, parasite prevention, sterilisation on the veterinarian's advice, and protection from the Philippine heat. The guides cover each one.
