Maggie the Labrabull and her owner Matt Dupuis like to go for walks with his daughter Mati. They take the frisbee along so Maggie
will have something to carry and retrieve.
Matt Dupuis got his "Labrabull," Maggie, as a gift from someone who got her as a rescue dog from Eastern Washington.
Labrabulls are what they sound like--a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Pit Bull.
"She's the smartest dog I've ever had," said Dupuis. "She won't eat anything unless I give it to her ... the first night I had her I fell asleep and a piece of pizza had fallen on the floor and in the morning it was still there, she didn't touch it."
Maggie, 6, loves to dive for rocks in streams and lakes, "As long as she can see the bottom she will get a ball or a rock," explained Dupuis.
She loves to catch the frisibee, enjoys licking salty things and is a very good guard dog, said her owner.
"She lets me know what's going on," said Dupuis. "You can play hide and seek on her, like if I'm walking her off leash you can hide behind a tree and she will start running around."
