In the world of dog breeding since 1996, this program has been guided by experience, dedication, and a genuine love for purpose-bred dogs.
Over the years, several breeds have been part of the journey, but the one that truly captured the heart was the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. The Toller’s intelligence, athleticism, and joyful spirit made a lasting impression and remain a central focus of the program today.
Along the way came the discovery of another remarkable breed that shares the same historic “tolling” function, the Little Dutch Waterfowl Hunting Dog, formally known as the Nederlandse Kooikerhondje, or simply the Kooiker.
For nearly five years, careful research and conversations with respected breeders led to the search for the right foundation dogs. That journey brought a meaningful connection with Responsible breeding is rooted in patience, knowledge, and a deep respect for breed purpose and preservation. Our dogs are carefully selected and raised with a focus on: • Stable, affectionate temperaments. Each pairing is thoughtfully planned to preserve breed integrity while producing dogs that thrive as companions, sport partners, and active family members.Nederlandse Kooikerhondje
(Kooikerhondje)Puppies are raised in a nurturing home environment where early development is a top priority. From their earliest days, they receive daily handling, close human interaction, and positive exposure to the world around them. Household sounds, new environments, and gentle socialization experiences help build confidence, resilience, and adaptability. This thoughtful start helps puppies grow into well-adjusted dogs who transition smoothly into their new families. All puppies receive appropriate veterinary care before placement and are matched with carefully selected homes committed to responsible dog ownership.
Breeding is only the beginning of the relationship.
Ongoing support, open communication, and shared joy in each dog’s journey are central to the program. Families are always encouraged to stay connected, ask questions, and celebrate milestones together.
The commitment extends to every puppy raised and every home they become part of.
Whether you are drawn to the spirited Toller or the charming Kooikerhondje, this program is devoted to preserving these remarkable tolling breeds and placing healthy, well-raised puppies into loving, dedicated homes
