MEET KIWI! SMART, CONFIDENT & READY TO RULE YOUR HEART!
Meet Kiwi, a beautiful female Bobtail Bernard with a big personality, a sharp mind, and a whole lot of character!
Born July 29, 2026
Kiwi is the more serious, observant, and bossy sister of the bunch! She always seems to know what her brothers should be doing, and she isn't afraid to keep an eye on things. She's curious, intelligent, confident, and loves figuring out what's happening around her.
This girl has opinions, a mind of her own, and the kind of personality that makes you stop and take notice. Kiwi is looking for a family who appreciates a smart, confident dog and is excited to help her grow into the amazing companion she's meant to be!
WHAT MAKES KIWI SPECIAL?
Kiwi is a Bobtail Bernard, developed with service dog work in mind, including mobility assistance and wheelchair pulling. She is expected to weigh approximately 110 pounds when fully grown, making her a substantial companion who will need appropriate space, training, and handling as she matures.
Kiwi was originally being considered for service dog training, but her shedding coat makes her better suited to life as a beloved family companion rather than our service dog program.
Her intelligence, observant nature, and confident personality make her an exciting prospect for an experienced large-breed handler who enjoys working with a dog that thinks for herself!
RAISED AROUND THE REAL WORLD!
Kiwi has grown up around dogs of all sizes and ages, cats, chickens, children, and teenagers. She's been exposed to a busy, varied environment and is ready for a family committed to continuing her socialization, training, and development.
WHO WOULD BE A GREAT MATCH FOR KIWI?
Kiwi would do especially well with a handler who has experience with large breeds and understands the importance of consistent training, clear boundaries, and positive guidance.
She's observant, curious, and quick to notice what's going on around her. She needs someone who will appreciate her intelligence, nurture her confidence, and help her channel that big personality into good manners and a strong partnership.
If you love a dog with brains, confidence, and a little bit of boss-lady energy, Kiwi might just be your girl!
HEALTHY, HAPPY & READY FOR HER NEXT CHAPTER!
Kiwi is up to date on her vaccinations and deworming. Her tail was docked as part of her original service-dog breeding plan, and her dew claws have been removed. She is curious, confident, observant, and full of personality!
