Our Toller Love Story

Our Toller love story started 25 years ago when we decided to look for the perfect dog. Searching all breeds for the best medium-sized, spunky, sporty and super cute dog, we found the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. The perfect dog.

This was before Tollers were an AKC recognized breed and there were very few around. It took us a while to find our beautiful Lacey. Thanks to Lee Ann Gleason at Cayuga Tollers who trusted us with the sweetest female puppy.

We have been involved with the breed since we took Lacey home. We joined the Nova Scotia Duck Toller (USA) Club in 1997, held position has Region 4 (West coast) director, rescue coordinator, organizer for competitive events  and social get togethers, and we are occasional breeders. Our tollers have introduced us to the fun worlds of competitive dog activities including agility, hunt tests, obedience, therapy dog and conformation. We love all our toller friends we met along the way.
