Axle

Meet one gorgeous big pup saved from the Albury Pound. Axle loves rough and tumble puppy play, so we think he may be best with another dog in his new home.

Axle also loves his food, so his new owners will need to be aware of the feeding requirements of large dogs... smaller feeds twice a day, good quality food, and definitely no exercise after meals.

Axle doesn't seem to have a problem with cats, but he does love to chase the foster carer's cat if he gets a chance. So he would need educating in this regard if his new owner had a cat.

Axle has learnt to sit wait for a very short period of time before he is allowed his food, so he is smart and with further obedience training this boy has potential to excell in this field.

Axle needs further training in lead walking, lots of short slow walks with treats involved and plenty of praise. As all puppies are and specially those who don't realise how big they are Axle can be rather boisterous, he does need daily training in basic manners to ensure that he grows to be a pleasure to be with. Large breed puppies (as do all puppies) particularly need to be socialised early to bring out their best. Axle may be maybe be better off in a home with older children, only because of his physical size as he may accidentally knock over smaller children.

This stunning big puppy will suit someone with the time and patience, to put into his all too important first 12 months of training and socialising, but that time will pay off as the result will be a handsome big dog and perfect canine citizen.

Please call Stacey if you would like to meet Axle.
