Maggie is 3 years old, 30 pounds and very strong. She can be willful sometimes, so will need a strong consistent hand, and sometimes, a time out. She bonds easily with women and can be selective with men, and can't be around small children because she won't share her food. She is housebroken or will use potty pads and needs a fenced in yard so she can run and play
