About Us
Maxie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Maxie
Age: Nine months old
Gender: Male
Breed: Dalmatian
Home: Akron, Ohio, USA
 
   Maxie is an AKC registered puppy who's parents are multiple Best of Show Conformation winners. His Dad is the second most decorated Dalmatian of all time, and his mother is currently ranked #5 in the USA. We have great hopes for his success as a SHOWDAL, but our family treasures him as a family member.

    Maxie has this wonderful habit of chewing everything he can get a hold of... Toilet paper rolls (the newer the better), stuffed animals, and web server power cords!!! Teething is such a wonderful thing...

    He's now nine months old, and has accomplished quite a stack of conformation ribbons... including a Group 1st at a major show. Recently, Maxie got to our cable modem and chewed the data cord. That caused the server to go off-line for about eight hours, and we lost our site IP address (which is dynamic)... So we were assigned a new address and now no one who linked directly to us can find us. We have always had a permanent redirector page but most people linked to us directly, and now they can't find us. Oh well, we love our Maxie.

    His hobby is running!!! He cuts like a running back and runs in figure eights every night when I take him to the local school for exercise... He is a laugh riot when he does that... He wants to play Frisbee, but the breeders told us to not let him jump until he is a year old... but he still tries to get it from us, and jumps about eight feet in the air trying to get it... His personality... Humm... well, let's say rambunctious... Loving... crazy... amiable... (can't stay mad at him). He recently ate a whole tray of cinnamon rolls off the counter, and then returned after another tray was cooked !!! (new nickname: Hungry Boy)
