Edenvalley Maverick McCoy RN, WCX, JH
(male)
Maverick was welcomed to our family in the fall 2010, his "maverick" attitude and willingness to explore when his litter mates were less adventurous, won us over immediately. He instantly became "Mav" and adopted us as his pack. Maverick was a challenge to train but his drive and loyalty and eagerness to please always ended the session with some smiles and fun. Maverick and Dean trained as a team and achieved a CKC WCX title and Junior Hunter. Maverick was hunted over at 2 years old and quickly learned that he much preferred the real thing over hunt tests and made this clear. Mav is a steady and trusted hunting companion who is as happy in a water blind as he is in the field hunting ducks, Canada geese and upland birds. Maverick continues to impress, overcoming obstacles of all kinds and retrieving birds up to 20 pounds. When he's not hunting or training, Maverick is busy being "Mav" at home, which includes resting in the bed and being close to the kitchen action and being a general clown. Maverick is very comfortable being the only male Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever in the house and is happy to watch the girls do their things. Maverick's happy place is when he's retrieving for our teenage son, hunting with the boys opening morning.
