Maisie is a dog who will greet you with a full body wag! She loves helping out with outside chores and being your sidekick! She thrives without space outside to roam and is trained on a petsafe and/or halo collar. She is house trained as well. Some of her favorite activities are to play frisbee, catch sticks, or play hide and seek by sniffing out kibbles or a loved one. She is super loyal and likes her family to be together. She does well with chickens, but is very dog selective and not great with cats or young children.
