Axel, the New Pack Addition

Ok, well as some of you know, I have kinda had to move house, as I could no longer afford to live where I was... I am now staying with my boyfriend's family until both of us can move into our own place. Since my boyfriend also has a dog, an 8-9 month old American Bulldog named Axel, although not mine, I've pretty much acquired a third dog since I have to do the training (mostly of the boyfriend lol)... Anyway, here is Axel, the new member of our pack!






He still needs some MAJOR training (and needs to be neutered), but he has begun to calm down since I've been helping Steve work with him, and setting some ground rules.

I am only assuming that he is purebred... there's really no way to tell for sure, as he came from a BYB, and my boyfriend only saw the father... there were no papers or anything... I know I've never seen a dark-colored American Bulldog before... They've always looked like Chance from Homeward Bound lol...

He is a very handsome boy!

Awww, what a sweet face!!!

Hi Axel!

What a cutie!!

I was going to say though, he doesn't look much like an american bulldog to me...

The "Painter" line of AmBulls often have coloured dogs It is very common for AmBulls to be outcrossed with Pits and Catahoulas, especially if they are bred for work.

Nice looking pup!

Well I was doing some reading, and found that there are two "official" types of American Bulldog - the Johnson type (thicker, heavier, with more massive heads/faces) and the Scott type (taller, lankier, lighter and more refined heads/faces, like Chance).

And since there's truely no way to tell (DNA tests are still inaccurate since they're fairly new), I am just assuming he's a badly-bred Scott-type (If there's some pit bull mixed in then so be it)...

wow--he is a good looking boy!

he's very handsome! How's the other doing? (any new Shippo pics?)

he looks like an Am. Bullie to me... handsome!

Oh my two are fine. I was gonna get some Shippo pics today, but instead I ended up having to deal with some trespassing issues now the light's all gone... maybe tomorrow.

What a handsome boy!

Awww, so cute.

My mouth seriously GAPED when I saw him. I wasn't expecting such handsomeness!

Gahh I'm in loove. He is sooooo gorgeous! He's stunning in every picture

More pictures?? *pleads*

Axel, I am offically your biggest fan..

Aww he's gorgeous! AmBulls are sooo pretty... and Axel is no exception!

Thanks guys! More pictures will come with more training... he is still learning how to focus, and unlike my two, he does not know the "Stand" command lmfao... it will come with time.

Cheetah he is damm handsome,looks American bulldog to me,just got the filling out to do.
BTW,welcome to the bully club.lol

He's a good looking dog

And he does look like maybe he's one of the AmBulls outcrossed with APBT.

He's stunning. Have fun training.

He's a handsome fella! I am glad you are there to help your boyfriend with training while he is still so young!

You should have seen my boyfriend's mother's reaction when I said he could possibly be part APBT lol >9.9< She was like "Yuck..." under her breath... but Steve was like "cool!"
