Axel von Axstedt is a beautiful 1-2 year old German Shepherd mix. Shepherd lovers everywhere know the joy of watching their dogs’ ears decide when (or if) they want to perk up. Axel’s ears decided to stay flopped, giving him a sweet puppy vibe that captures hearts everywhere he goes. Speaking of going out, this medium-energy pup approaches days-out calmly and, with a little reassurance, blossoms into an intrepid explorer. He walks well with other dogs, mingles like a cocktail party host and enjoys soaking up every moment like a practiced yogi. This boy knows how to sit on command and also knows he does not prefer the company of cats. This black-and-tan handsome fella treasures having his ears scratched, which is good news considering how oh-so-cute his ears are. If you want to see the cutest pair of ears you’ve ever seen on the best friend you’ll ever have, Axel is waiting!
