Why I need a new home

Infant, young children or pregnancy

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Axel is a loyal and committed companion. He lives for his owner. He loves playing chase and fetch and will impress you with his jumps and speed when you toss him the tennis ball. He can run for hours. He is incredibly treat motivated, trains easily, and is obedient.

Some of his favorite hobbies are squirrel and bird watching, laying outside sunbathing, hiking/walks, and chewing on bones. He also enjoys boat rides and is an excellent swimmer. He doesnt get sick of playing and still has that puppy energy.

Axel is very well house trained and crate trained. He is trained to use bells when he needs to go outside. Axel knows all basic commands and some fun commands too like speak, shake and even sneeze!

He likes to have his own space and will need a home without children. He does well with other dogs but needs time to warm up. He does not currently live with another pet and this breed typically does not do well with smaller animals like cats.
