Here's what the humans have to say about me:
FOSTER LOCATION: Boise, ID
Looking for a wonderful and affectionate companion with lots of smarts? Then meet Axel!
Axel is a small 1 year old Kelpie mix who is about as sweet as they come. He’s great with cats and other dogs and loves absolutely everyone he meets. He loves to snuggle, and therefore is still learning house rules about being on the couch and bed. He knows some basic commands, but needs more work with walking nicely on a leash. He comes when he is called and does not bolt. He just wants to be with his family and get love and praise.
Axel is a very sensitive dog and should only be trained using positive reinforcement. He would do best in a quieter home as small children stress him out; so no kids under 15 please.
Axel is still a puppy, and as such he is still learning manners. He will jump up on people and gets very excited. He LOVES to play with other dogs and can get a little excitable, but he calms down nicely. When he is left alone in the back yard, he’s a very quiet dog and does not bark much.
Axel would excel with formal training and being given a job, such as agility or flyball. Because of his breed, he will need mental and physical exercise to ensure he is properly stimulated and entertained.
Axel is up to date on shots and is fixed. We are still working on housetraining and crate training (he’ll catch on in no time). This is one very special boy who will make a fantastic companion for an active person or family.
