Kiwi is the youngest of the pack at three years of age. Affectionately identified as a Petit New Zealand Bobtail Griffon, or PNZBG, Kiwi has been clicker trained since 12 weeks of age and has an ever-expanding repertoire of behaviors. Terry's favorites are when he does his chores, bringing in the two daily newspapers and shutting the door behind him, and cleaning and clearing the dishes twice daily: he first licks each of the four dog bowls spotless, then brings each one to the sink, with the grande finale of shaking out Buster's tablecloth and presenting it in exchange for dessert. Kiwi is slowly rising through the agility ranks after a very scary bee sting at his first trial, and now competes at the Advanced level in USDAA and the Open level in NADAC. Kiwi is in training for freestyle and flyball as well. |
