AKA - AXEL
Axel at 8 years old
Axel was born in January 2001
and imported by us from Souza's
American Bulldogs in the USA.
Axel came from a repeat breeding between:
CH.
Souza’s Koa of Boyd
BST / GDT / CGC / OFA / PH
and
GR.CH. Souza’s Dixie Lee
ROM / PDT II / CGC / OFA / PH
/ OFA el.
Axel at 2 years old
Axel stands 25” and is around 90lb,
he is a dominant,
hard headed, high prey drive dog
and also a comical & lovable
character.
He has good structure, is athletic and has a lot of
stamina.
Axel has done very well in
conformation shows in the UK and
earned his NKC CHAMPION status in 2004.
Axel at 3 years old
He is very dominant with other adult male dogs,
but has the qualities we require
when he is around
females and puppies, being very playful with adult females,
& also with male & female puppies.
Axel at 8 years old
Axel was the first American Bulldog to gain his
Schutzhund BH qualification in the UK
under the British Schutzhund Association (BSA)
Axel at 3 years old
He gained his GDT title which enabled him to compete in Irondog events.
He competed in the first Irondog (IDT3) trial event in the
UK
and obtained an Irondog IDT3
"ranked" title.
Axel at 3 years old
He has twice trialed for a WABA
BST and after twice completing
the obedience phase he then failed
due to refusing to out in the protection phase.
Axel - WABA BST Trial.
Axel has also passed an AKC- Canine Good Citizen
test.
Axel at 3 years old
Axel was hip scored
with the O.F.A. (USA)
at just short of 3 1/2 years old and
was certified
'Good' no DJD.
Axel has been DNA tested for the NCL
gene
at the University of Missouri and
his result was NCL Carrier.
Axel at 3 years old
and
Axel at 8 years old
Axel is now 81/2 years old and is
still very fit and healthy.
He has turned out to be everything we hoped for, and we
consider him to be an
archetype of what an American Bulldog should be.
