Maple

Maple is Boone's younger half sister, out of Swing, and she has her mother's rich gold coat, which goes copper when she is wet, which is most of the time. She also has her mother's opinion that every visitor came to see her in particular. She greets people with a shoe, a ball or whatever else is nearby and soft enough to carry. She is our creek dog. If a gate is open she is in the water, and she taught two litters of puppies to wade before we had planned to introduce them to it. Maple is an ichthyosis carrier, which is common in the breed and has no effect on her health. She is bred only to dogs that test clear, as Ridge does, so none of her puppies can be affected. We list it here because you should be able to see every result, not only the ones that read Clear.
