Bess our Golden Retriever bitch has been expecting Goldie pups and was due on the 19th  may. As Bess grew bigger and bigger there was no way she was going to last the full term.

So on the 17th Bess popped and we had a healthy litter of 10 golden retriever puppies  4 girls and 6 boys.

Here are some pictures taken this week. The puppies are  just over a week old.

Congratulations to Roz Hickman with Fallowfen’s Star of Pads aka Donald and Janet Young with Fallowen’s Silver Cairn aka Cairn.

Both Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever puppies went on to win. Donald won Special puppy dog and Cairn won Special puppy bitch.

Both Tollers then went  head to head for the crown of best puppy in the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever breed.

It was very close  and the crown went to Donald, Fallowfen’s Star of Pads.

A huge well done to both ladies for putting their heart and sole into their puppies and they should be extremely proud of their success.

Emily and Lexi enjoying the deep snow. Lexi is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever sired by Bomber our Canadian Champion Toller stud dog.

Bomber is producing some real quality pups with fantastic temperaments and excellent shape and structure.

Update from Basil and Ross, Ross is a working Golden Retriever sired by our proven Golden Retriever stud dog Flint.  They seem to be enjoying this years shooting season.

Hi Amanda & Phillip,

Just to let you know that Fingal is still doing really well and loving the ton of snow that we’ve had. He’s getting lots of attention because the schools have been closed and the boys and their friends have been playing with him outside. He looks a little bit sad in the second photo there, but he really isn’t!

He’s been doing well at puppy classes, apart from weeing on the floor one week ( the only person who was phased by that was me!) and can do sit and down pretty reliably and is learning heel. He likes to play fetch although only a few times and can dribble with a football too. He’s a bundle of fun and so sociable everyone takes to him, although he nearly went off with the postman yesterday so we have to keep an eye on him. He has the occasional accident in the house, usually later in the evening when he’s tired and is good about asking out for a poo. We’ve kept him on the same food, up to 320g a day and this seems to be suiting him well.

He’s going to be very like bomber and has a lovely nature, full of mischief but does take a telling. We’re all really enjoying having him and he seems to be having a whale of a time too. He’s made such a difference to our lives I would not have believed it!

We’ll keep you posted with his expoits.

Kind regards,

Anne

Hi All, here are some pictures of Cairn having some fun in the snow over the last few days.
It was nice to see other Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers at the Gundogs Of Scotland show earlier this month as we don’t see many up here and winning best Toller Puppy  she will meet her brother Donald at Crufts which will be good to see how they compare.
Cairn is doing well at Obedience and starts her puppy Agility training in Dec.

Donald the Duck Toller in the snow for the first time and take a look at the rosettes and still only 9 months of age. Well done!

We have successfully mated Faith aka FallowfenFaithful Fox one of our working toller girls to our very own Bomber aka Can Ch Tollchester Seawild Cherrybomb one of our proven Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever stud dogs.

Faith is a trained gundog who lives up  to her name in every way, Faithful!

Faith our Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever bitch can be seen working HERE. 

All being well we should have Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever puppies due the end of January 2011.
