Known as Maisie and sometimes called Ah-Maiz-Balls, this little coonhound came into my life at 2 years of age as a foster dog. Having spent her puppy and adolescence periods in a shelter, she didn’t know much about the real world and had never experienced life as a pet dog. Her rough start hasn’t stopped her, and through Scent Work her confidence has exploded. She lives every waking moment for searching and thoroughly enjoys competing. Maisie has over 40 Nose Work titles, most with placements and High In Trial, as well as numerous Pronounced designations.
We are now competing at the highest level of any venue, NACSW Summit, where Maisie is the first coonhound to achieve this title – not only once but three times, and 2nd place overall for two of them.
If you meet Maisie while doing Nose Work, she is all business. But in her downtime, she lives life to the fullest and is a typical hound goof!
