Kiwi, mom
Border Collie
About Kiwi
…Stag Valley is proud to introduce Delta (short name kiwi). Thsi spitfire was hand selected by us from the eastern seaboard over the course of many visits. Kiwi has passed our standards for lineage, temperamnet, physical conformation, and behavioral screening via the volhard aptitude test. She brings a lineage of healthy, registered WORKING parents that we are proud to contribute to. Having passed a few of the earliest health tests with flying colors, we have no doubt that as she ages, all future health screenings will be favorable. This little lady is bold and brave with a great social nature, pack dynamic mindset (a rare find as most collies are.a do-it-myself kind of dog), and a natural trust in people that told us she would be great alone but woukd be best as a team dog rather than a solo. For this reason, we opted to bring home her half sibling Gidget, who impressed us with her intelligence right away. She meets challenges head on with plenty of eye contact for direction that has made training so far a breeze! We are happy to say the future looks bright for Kiwi as we plan to proudly integrate her to our program in 2026.
