AXEL Donnevara

Interchampion / Multi Grandchampion AXEL Donnevara was a lovely shepherd with excellent pedigree, exterior and character. He was born on 18.1.2016 in Donnevara kennel in the litter A2. He passed away very unexpectedly and suddenly after a short illnes – cancer – lymphosarcoma. Only 5 weeks passed from the first symptoms to his last breath. We are still heartbroken from this huge loss. We will never forget this special boy. Run free Axel.

AXEL was very active, he loved balls, baloons, sticks, cones and just anything he could chase. So we always trained obedience with a ball. He was very active almost until his death. We regularly went jogging, cycling, swimming, and most of all he loved fetching balls, sticks and cones. It seemed he never got tired. From dog sports, we did canicross, bikejöring and dog-scootering, modern dog sports in harness, which he enjoyed a lot. We regularly took part in canicross races and obstacle races with Axel and he won some great placements. Just a few weeks before his death, he won two races at Czech Dog Run 2023 – day and night race. At the Mud Dog Race 2019 he finished 1st and at Experience Run 2020 he was 2nd, Extreme dog race 2021 – night + day run 2x 2nd in his cathegory, Wild Grizzly race 2021 – 2nd+3rd. Winter dog game 2022 2nd, Wild Grizzly 2022 – couples cathegory 1st. For his lifelong achievements he was granted the title Master Of Endurance Sports. He also passed the endurance test at the age of almost 7.

In character he was very friendly, open and ballanced. He didn’t mind strangers. He was fearless and very self-confident.

As for the exterior, he was a dog with strong skeletton, strong masculine expression, very good pigmentation, he had well formed legs with correct angulation and nice elegant movement. He achieved a lot of successes in shows and we can be proud of all his titles and awards. He achieved the highest possible show title “C.I.B. – Interchampion” at the age of only 2 years and 5 months. He was a grand champion, champion and junior champion of many countries. In the yearlong competition for the best show dog in the Czech Republic season 2016/2017, he finished 3rd, in 2018 4th and in 2019 again 3rd among all WSS in the Czech club (if points from abroad counted too he would win). In the yearlong Open Slovakia Dog Cup 2017 he ended on a lovely second place from all WSS exhibited in Slovakia that year.

He had the best possible health results. Apart from the compulsory health tests, we had him tested for many other genetic diseases, all of them with negative result. He was FCI stud dog. He fulfilled the conditions for a stud dog even in other countries, not only CZ. His blood sample has been tested for DNA and is stored at the clinic for reproduction in Switzerland.

Axel naturally sired 12 litters (in the Czech Republic, Poland, Germany and Switzerland), 87 puppies altogether during his life, he also became the grandfather of several puppies.Hopefully there will be more puppies born even after his death from his frozen sperm which we exported to Australia in spring 2023.
