URO1 Maisy, CD-C, RL2, RL1X, CGC

Maisy is a 6-year-old corgi-poodle mix, and my first dog. She has a tendency to be fearful and reactive, but is smart as a whip and constantly makes me laugh. Maisy earned her level 1 and 2 APDT rally titles with an Award of Excellence in both levels, and was nationally ranked #6 in the RL1X class in 2009.
