Maggie was born March 21, 2010 to our Ginny and Whiskey River Wyatt MH. She is from a repeat breeding. This breeding has produced such outstanding hunting companions and family pets that we just had to have one more dog from Ginny and Wyatt before retiring our Ginny. Maggie was chosen from this litter for her size, looks and easy going personality. We have several dogs now that are very driven and though this is a repeat breeding and Maggis's pedigree is the same as Rivers we wanted to add variety to our future breeding program and our household by choosing a dog with different personality traits than our other dogs.

Maggie is 8 months old now and has finally stopped growing so fast that we couldn't keep up with her. She was one of the largest puppies in her litter and has remained large. She's finally slowed down enough in her growth to start filling out. She's getting broader in the chest and is filling out and looking to become an absolutely beautiful large lab with a blocky head and large chest. She looks a lot like River and Ginny, but also has some of Wyatt's looks in her face as well. She was a laid back easy puppy from the beginning and showed early signs of being a very people oriented loyal dog. When the other puppies were running around playing, she was following right on Brian's heels everywhere he went. She loved her people from the beginning and though she had no fear of taking off on her own to explore and play with her siblings, she often chose even at an early age to follow us and stay at our heels. At 8 months old she now takes full advantage of her running and playing time, but she also runs by us often to check and see if we need her and to get a pat before she runs off to play again. She is an easy dog in the house. She likes to stretch out to nap on the floor and in a chair, but enjoys laying in our laps when she's awake for attention. She's developed a "big girl" bark which is deep and full. She's normally very quiet and easy going so when she does bark with that deep voice she's developed it's still a surprise.

Maggie may be sweet and easy going, but she's got Ginny's intelligence and will often look you right in the eye when you talk to her.Those big gentle eyes of hers seem to absorb and understand anything you ask of her. She loves her time to run and play and gets very excited when you get out a bumper to throw or take her to the pond for a swim. You wouldn't think it when you see her in the house though. She's content just to be with her people while in the house. She enjoys her visits to Brian's mom's house for family dinners and even at a young age has been very gentle, well behaved and good with family of all ages while we are there.
