Kiwi is all we hoped for and more than we imagined. Amy Lane delivered exactly what we asked for. Kiwi is smart, cheerful, loving, adventurous, social, athletic, and mostly quite well-mannered. He goes with us everywhere dogs are allowed. We can’t go far in public without a stranger gushing over him.

He has been easy to train. He’s what’s called “biddable,” meaning he is the perfect combination of wanting to please and willing to do anything for a treat. He has his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate, is off-leash trained, and is working on his Novice Trick Dog Certificate. Now, if he could only paddle the kayak, not just ride . . .
