Breeze is now 10 weeks old and we have been socialising her within our family environment getting her use to family life and finding her place within the pecking order. Breeze is very bright and extremely laid back, she is excellent with the children who are very hands on.

At this early stage of training it should be done within play drive with no pressure. Everything should be easy for her to achieve and made enjoyable. We are talking to her all the time in play training giving her plenty of encouragement.

The main steps at this moment in time are her retrieving and recall, her recall at present is fantastic, as soon as you call her name she comes back to you, or when you are play retrieving she also comes straight back to you, but we are never to quick to take the ball or sock off of her, as we don’t want her to get into the habit of dropping the retrieve.

 We are also starting to lead train her, we put a collar on and attach a lead then let her run around the house. We will occasionally tread on the lead so she gets use to sudden pressure. We also let the children walk/pull her around to get her use to walking on the lead.

So many owners teach a dog to walk with a lead but not on a lead!

This morning at 06.00am we collected a puppy out of our yellow Labrador retriever stud dog, Moss who we had in exchange for a stud fee. We have christened her Breeze, she is a very outgoing yellow Labrador bitch.

 The breeders Neil & Alison Parkin have done a fantastic job of rearing her in the first 8 weeks of puppy-hood. Our plan with Breeze is to do a step by step guide of how we introduce one of our puppies to a working life as a gundog.

This will give all an opportunity to follow our step by step guide for their own use, but also for others to give us advice  if we were to come across any stumbling blocks along the way which they may have already encountered.  Watch this space!

A new video of the Toller Pups at three Weeks Old!

In the last week the puppies have become alot more active, they are becoming more independent moving around, investigating and becoming vocal.They have started showing interest in mums food so they have been on weetabix and goats milk over the last four days and will move onto Masters Puppy Eclipse over the next week soaked in warm water an hour before feeding. The puppies were given their first course of wormer over 3 days starting last friday and finishing on Sunday. They were wormed with Panacur 10 % liquid. Amber was also wormed over the 3 days with Panacur.

Amber’s Toller puppies are now approaching 2 weeks old, and have discovered they have litter mates to keep themselves amused, so they are busy investigating each other. All their eyes are opening and they are starting to respond to new noises.

Each puppy is begining to explore there surroundings and realising their boundaries at this early stage. 

Congratulations to Glyn and Liza Lack on their new arrivals.

They have just had a litter of 7 labrador puppies. 2 black bitches 3 yellow dogs and 2 black dogs.  Sire FTW Caulliechat Regal hips 3/3 (Bramble), dam Bullrush Springing Teal hips 0/2 (Pippa).

All puppies weighed  around 20oz. These will make fantastic working dogs or pets. If anyone would like further information on the puppies please contact us.
