Maia

Maia is from the "Cosmos" litter but I decided to narrow the theme to Orion and the Pleiades using 3 of the Pleiades sisters names for the litter. Maia was the oldest and most beautiful of the sisters. Maia lives with Elizabeth Readon White and her husband Charlie. Elizabeth worked with my dogs while waiting to get a puppy from me and actually put the Rally Novice title on Maia's mom, River. Elizabeth is interested in doing many things with Maia including, running her in harness, conformation, obedience and agility so far. I can't be more pleased with these two!

In Harness

Although due to the lack of snow the last two years we haven't got out on the sled much, Maia is still doing really well running with her mother River on Elizabeth's scooter.

Obedience Ring

After Elizabeth finished Maia's mother River for me at the Saturday Cobequid Dog Club Trial, Elizabeth decided to put Maia in Rally Obedience on the Sunday just to see how well she would do and where she still needed some training. To Elizabeth's delight Maia got her first leg towards her Rally Novice title! Maia is continues to do well in rally but, like her mother before her, is not a big fan of a fast sit. We will keep working on that one.
