Maisie is a gorgeous Lagotto Poodle cross who is full of energy, but also just loves to sit with you and snuggle up while you work or read. She responds well to specific commands, and is eager to please. Since moving to Nelson (from Marlborough) after the first lockdown, she is still struggling to adjust to the amount of noise that goes on around her home from the neighbours as we used to live on a larger property that didn’t really have neighbours! Although big noises when out and about don’t bother her at all! Maisie has got used to me being at work all day (I used to be able to go home at lunch time), but would love it if she had some company sometimes when I’m at work. When going for a walk, Maisie can be a little ‘enthusiastic’ on the lead initially (I’m working on this!), but she does calm down after a while. She is on the small side of medium in size (approximately 11kg) and very gentle. When out and about, she can get anxious around people that express nervousness around dogs and give a throaty growl or a bit of a bark, but this is fear on Maisie’s part, not aggression. Most times we are able to resolve this by talking to the people and introducing them to each other :-) Maisie is an enthusiastic walker and cyclist! Yes, she runs alongside me on the bike (with a walkydog lead attached to the bike) or sits in her dog trailer if we are on a longer ride. Maisie just loves to be with people.
