Axle's Story

🐾😎 Axle! 😎🐾

G'day! My name's Axle πŸΆπŸ–€πŸ€ and if I do say so myself, I'm a pretty cool little dude.

At just 10 weeks old, I've already got a bit of swagger in my step 😎. I've got the brains of a German Shepherd 🧠, the laid-back charm of a Bull Arab 😌, and a striking black-and-white coat that turns heads wherever I go ✨🐾.

My story didn't get off to the best start. I was part of an unwanted litter and found myself in the shelter πŸ πŸ’”. But I'm not looking backwards anymore. I'm far more interested in what comes next... and hopefully that includes a family of my very own! ❀️🏑

I've got big dreams for my future 🌟. I'm imagining a backyard to zoom around in πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ’¨, plenty of games to play 🎾, adventures to go on 🌿, and lots of people to love. Most importantly, I'd love a family who sees me as one of their own.

Being a growing pup, I've still got plenty to learn πŸ“šπŸ•. I'll need ongoing positive reinforcement training, guidance, and lots of opportunities to experience the world in a safe and encouraging way 🌎✨. Proper socialisation will help me grow into the confident, well-mannered gentleman I'm destined to become.

And you know what would make life even better? A friendly canine companion πŸΆπŸ’•. Having another dog around to show me the ropes, teach me the household rules, and join me in some backyard adventures would be a huge bonus!

I'm at that exciting age where every day is a new discovery πŸ”πŸΎ. With patience, consistency, and a whole lot of love, I'm ready to grow into an incredible lifelong companion.

So, if you're looking for a handsome sidekick with a cool attitude, a clever mind, and a heart full of love, come and meet me! πŸ–€πŸ€πŸΎ

Love, Axle 🐢😎

"I've got the swagger, I've got the smarts, now all I need is a family to share them with." 🏑❀️✨🐾

What should I feed my puppy?

Your dog's diet should be based on a high-quality, balanced premium commercial dog food that is suited to their specific life stage (puppy, adolescent, adult, pregnant, senior) and health condition.

The amount of food your dog needs will depend on factors like their size, breed, age, and activity level. However, it’s important not to overfeed or underfeed. Your vet can weigh your dog, assess their body condition score, and offer feeding recommendations.

To prevent bloat, which can be life-threatening, adult dogs should be fed at least twice a day and should not engage in exercise right before or after meals. This is especially important for deep-chested breeds like Boxers and German Shepherds.

Make sure fresh drinking water is always available. Do not give your dog milk as it can lead to gastrointestinal issues.

Should I feed bones to my puppy?

Bones offer dogs nutrients and mental stimulation while helping remove tartar from their teeth. However, bones can also break teeth, cause blockages, and carry harmful bacteria. Consider these factors to make an informed decision for your pet and family’s wellbeing.

Dental chews are a good alternative if you wish to provide your pet with entertainment that assists with teeth cleaning. Visit RSPCA World for Pets for a range of quality dental chews for your dog.
