UPDATE: Axel is now 4 months old and about 30 pounds. We've made progress on the mouthing/play biting, but still working on that. Some snuggling is now allowed, but he's still mostly all about play time. He absolutely loves to play fetch! He is crate trained and only has occasional accidents when I'm not paying close enough attention to him. Axel is very well socialized and has never met a stranger. Because of how much he loves to run and play, he's looking for a home with a nice big yard and someone with time to exercise him. He would not be a good fit for children under 10. If there are other young, playful dogs in the home he will love that but he does pester his senior foster sister a little too much. He doesn't pay much attention to his feline foster brother. Axel is a 10 week old fluffy bundle of motion! If you’re looking for a cuddly little puppy to hold in your lap, he is not for you. However, if you’re looking for one that is smart, independent, outgoing, toy and food motivated, he's your boy! He's probably mixed with something bigger than a border collie, possibly Pyrenees, but we are not certain about that. He was taken from his mom too soon and didn't learn not to mouth and bite when he wants to play (which is ALL the time). We're working on that issue as well as housetraining. Due to his energy level he will only be place in a home with older children. He's already walking on a leash and travels well in the car. He's starting to sleep through the night in his kennel. Axel will make someone a fun companion but he will likely need a job to do to keep his sharp little mind busy. Puppy class and ongoing obedience and other fun classes will be a must for this boy. He loves to go and do everything his foster siblings do- he was climbing stairs with them when he was 7 weeks old. We will be looking for the right match for his larger than life personality once he finishes his second round of vaccines. Axel will be adopted with a neuter contract requiring him to be neutered by 6 months of age. Axel will need a fenced yard to keep him safe. He is being fostered in the Springfield, MO area.
