This stunning baby is Axel 4681. Axel is a youngster with endless potential. He is very intelligent and has learned to sit, how to go up and down stairs and he has learned his name. He is very treat motivated and wants to learn. Axel is about 90% potty trained but will have accidents if he isn't taken out consistently every hour or two. He loves toys and his favorite activity is chewing. In a room full of 30 toys he tends to steal shoes if they aren't put away. He is a typical active puppy who likes to find things to get into and needs constant supervision. Axel has done great with other dogs. He is very playful and has no fear. He also rides well in a car.  Axel is curious and social. He is interested in the birds and squirrels in the yard. He thinks fingers, toes, legs and arms are fun to try to bite. He does not understand how razor sharp his baby teeth are. He needs work understanding "no" and gets amped up when scolded. He does best with redirection with a chew toy. He can be relentless and needs an adopter who understands this is typical puppy behavior that will need consistent redirection and work. Axel has done well in a crate. He throws a fit for the first 15 minutes then settles and sleeps through the night. A crate will be required for Axel's safety and for the preservation of personal items. Axel is active, strong-willed and big boned. This boy will likely be very large. His cute puppy face is almost irresistible; however, he will grow into a large, strong and driven dog that will need training and exercise.
