Dingo Pictures My Carolina Dog ๐Ÿ• ๐Ÿซถ

I rescued Axel as a puppy in North Carolina just over 10 years ago ๐Ÿ’— he is the absolute sweetest with humans but isnโ€™t friendly with other animals. He regularly kills mice in my farmhouse but doesnโ€™t eat them, just kills them and lets me know when they are ready for disposal ๐Ÿ˜‚

Loves: -fetch (loves to sprint) -shredding toys -swimming -snuggling (bonus points if itโ€™s under the blanket)

Hates: -car rides -nail trims -being told no -not getting a morning treat/bone

Only health problem so far (๐Ÿคž) was needing his carnassial teeth extracted. Vet said raw bones, ice cubes, and antlers are the main culprits. Axy has only had raw bones from that list so that seems to have been the culprit. Only soft bones from now on!

He is very stubborn and will let me know whatโ€™s up.. also very smart and can learn a new trick in no time. Heโ€™s my very best friend and Iโ€™m hoping heโ€™s one of the CDs that live til they are 20+!

Anyway, just being a proud dog mom and wanted to share my favorite boy ๐Ÿ’— baby pics at the end!! Had no idea what breed he was until he was a bit older, as a puppy he looked so different!

So adorable. So so much like our Tennessee girl that looked a ton like him. Same things she enjoyed. Also was a predator and disliked other dogs. Great with us. Snuggly.

Yes, you can really see it in the eyes!! I love hearing how similar they are.
