Spring 2009 Tollchester Toller Picnic


The first picnic hosted by Tollchester Reg'd was held today at Hayward Lake. It was a great day for the Tollchester toller picnic at the dog park in Mission BC. The weather was perfect, the dogs kept busy swimming for hours, there was plenty of prizes and food, and everyone seemed to be having a great time.

We'd like to thank those who helped organize the event. Paul Connelly, for your goody bag designs (bumper stickers and magnets), banners and signs.

Upcoming: Tollchester Toller Picnic May 30th


A friendly reminder that the date is just around the corner! This Saturday will be the Tollchester toller picnic at Hayward Lake Dog Park in Mission BC. If you haven't RSVP for the event please do so as we will be supplying goody bags for the children, lunches for families and there will be a few toller related 'door prizes'.

We plan to supply tennis balls at the picnic for the redheads so please leave all sentimental toys at home - we are having the picnic in the dog park so there a chance things may get misplaced. We will have a few water dishes on location for the dogs - if you're dog is concerned about communal water I would suggest bringing a private water dish for them. Otherwise, I can't think of anything else people need to bring to the event other then their families and tollers :o)

We will be there between 10am and 1pm. See you there!

FEATHER AND AVRO LITTER BORN APRIL 26, 2009 - 4 week evaluations

Joy is a pretty girl who is very sweet and easy going. She has a stubborn streak during photo sessions but is easily convinced to stand for a piece of cheese :) She's a easy girl to be around because she's can be bribed and always willing to please.


Merry is very sweet girl who will cuddle with you for hours! She loves to be around 'her people' and is great companion. Merry is a quiet girl who doesn't bark or scream. Instead she shows her character with playful *grrrs* when people interact with her during playtime.

Chief is Mr. personality! His tail is always wagging and he's happy to see everyone. He is our vocal puppy in the crowd who likes to whine when things aren't going as he planned - he's growing out of it as he matures. He's very food motivated and will suckle earlobes if he feels there's a chance they will produce milk.

Alpine is very mellow and loves to snuggle. He's outgoing and greets people with his tail wagging. He's got a great off switch and settles down for naps in your lap easily. He's loves to please and a bit of a flirt!


Captain is the quietest puppy in the litter who likes to spend time with people and warms up to strangers quickly. He currently has the lowest energy in the litter and is always willing to please.


Aerial is currently my pick female by temperament. She is a real spitfire with tons of 'look at me' personality. She's always wagging her tail and a real joy to be around. She's a higher energy girl who will need a home that is committed to a exercise and training routine.

Chili X Avro litter born April 13, 2009


Tollchester Kennels has evaluated their April 13, 2009 litter by Avro and Chili. It's a very uniform litter with wonderful structure and easy going temperament puppies. We are very excited by this litter.

This breeding is a line breeding on some amazing dogs in the history of tollers. We look forward to see how these young ones grow up and look forward to hearing about their adventures with their new owners!

We are very excited by this litter because they have perfect 'off' switches and will settle down and snuggle with you. However, when taken out to play they will work hard and give it their all. There is a good variation of size in the litter with girls who should be on the smaller side of the scale around 17" and boys who look like they will be at the top end of the standard at 21" at the shoulder.

Puppy play dates will be within the next few weeks! Come one, come all :o)
