Born in a Wisconsin thunderstorm, Daxx HF was named after a Star Trek Deep Space Nine character. Why? Well, following with Hannoverian tradition, he needed to have a name starting with D, just like his sire. And, Daxx has a cute star on his forehead that is the shape of the Star Trek logo!

Daxx will be turning 7 years old this winter! Time has flown since he was born, and it is amazing how he's grown.
