Aksel

Position: Retired (Lead)

Age: 11

Stoic, thoughtful, and stubborn are three words that describe Aksel very well.

He is an excellent lead dog who is always determined to get the job done.

Aksel loves to hunt and thinks chasing animals (like moose and caribou) is the best thing in the world.

He is very playful and gets along with all other dogs. Aksel demands respect, but doesn't bother with trouble.
