Story

Meet Axel, a 7 1/2 year old purebred orange & white male brittany. Axel loves other dogs & kids, but definitely no cats. He has a high prey drive and needs a steady job. He would love the opportunity to hunt. He is not gun shy and has excellent recall. He must have a home with a lot of land. A working farm would be perfect for him. He needs a lot of daily exercise and to be kept busy. Axel is an escape artist and requires a privacy fence of at least 6' high. He is an expert at escaping and considers it a great game. Since he does have great recall, he comes back once called. However, he must be supervised when he's outside. This is why a lot of land, and away from roads, is important. Axel is well socialized and will do anything you ask of him. He is very sweet, but driven and needs an outlet for his energy. He loves to be outside and is very goofy. Like most bird dogs, he is not great on a leash, but does excellent on a long lead. He is crate trained and should be crated when left alone. He tends to get into mischief, especially if not highly exercised. Axel is neutered, heartworm negative, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. He is located in northwestern GA and is available for transport up to 1400 miles, with the adopter driving the last 100 miles to pick him up. His adoption fee is $350. If you are interested in adopting Axel, please submit an adoption application at www.nbran.org and mention his name. Also, feel free to reach out to jessica@thesouthernway.com with any questions.May 8, 2025, 8:42 pm
