Bio:
Maple is a remarkable Hungarian Wirehaired Vizsla who excels as both a pet model and a stunt dog. Not only is she agile and incredibly fast, but she also stands out for her intelligence, obedience, and patience—qualities that make her exceptionally trainable. Furthermore, her gentle manners and affectionate nature ensure she is both a joy to work with and easy to love. Whether you need a “scruffy” look or a neatly trimmed finish, she can adapt effortlessly to fit your creative vision.
Trained to KC Gold Level by a professional trainer, Maple already excels in a wide range of skills. Her owner has taught her numerous tricks, including working at a distance and responding on cue to both hand and voice signals. Despite her young age, Maple has proven herself a quick learner, easily picking up new tricks to meet any project’s needs. She has also won competitions in freestyle and regularly competes in heelwork to music, with plans to debut in freestyle to music soon.
Moreover, Maple’s love for people and other dogs, combined with her calm demeanour around loud noises and unfamiliar settings, makes her an ideal choice for any production. She’s not only adaptable and focused but also capable of taking commands from anyone on set. Moreover, Maple recently showcased her talent in the upcoming film The Son, which is set to release on November 11th.
With her versatile skills and standout personality, Maple is more than ready to bring your vision to life.
