KijabeWinds Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers

Aero is on babysitting duty for the week 💕

Shout out to Sea To Sea Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers for raising this stellar litter of pups. Even when you think you have a good wait list prior to breeding when you have a litter this large it means not only a huge time commitment to raising them, but also a bit of a challenge to sort out all the homes. Heidi is a very conscientious breeder and if you are wanting to add a toller to your family, she has a few still looking for their forever homes. Well done team Sea to Sea 💕

There’s few things better than a litter of puppies…but a litter of 11 Toller puppies just might make the top of the list 🥰🐾

What kind of dog is that? The most common question when you are walking a toller.
‘A Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever’ seems like a fairly straight forward answer right?
‘OH Are those the ones from Newfoundland?’ 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
We are in Newfoundland, only saw one of these but just in case anyone is still wondering…they do look very different.

Kijabewinds Perfect Pitch 2016-2023 It is with great sadness we share the loss of one of our precious girls. Stella had a traumatic accident and her people had to let her go. Stella is their third Kijabewinds girl and Auntie Soleil, their second, will have to hold the fort on her own now. She was loved so well because she loved so well, dogs do that, unconditionally.

Sadly that is all gone now.

More Duck’lings! Kijabewinds Orbit Star Tracker (aka Duck) is a daddy again. Two boys and two girls. Mama, Saucydog’s Mika Ivy and pups are doing well. This litter is all spoken for.
Duck and Mika both have lovely temperaments, Duck is a certified Service Dog proving that he has a stellar disposition. He is available at stud via frozen because of needing to be neutered for certification. (Owners needs come before mine!).

‘Where is the brush?’ he asked over the phone when I unexpectedly was away for a week.
It is my understanding that he didn’t find it exactly where I said it was. 😖

I’m not in the ring any more but to those of you who follow me and are in the dog activities keep this young lady in mind for telling your story about you and your dogs, update your websites with quality photos of who you and your dogs are.

Hello everyone! I'm excited to announce that I am going to start doing ringside candids at , hopefully, most of our local dog shows on the island. I experimented with some shots while exhibiting at the Comox Valley Dog Show on Saturday, and am happy to share the album.

Candid shots are $10ea, you receive a full sized, lightly edited digital image. Heavy edits (like removing leads, people etc) may be available on request, cost determined by time. These photos can be used for websites, advertising, and social media. They are yours to use and enjoy.

I will be photographing at the Campbell River Dog Fanciers Show, and if you would like your dog photographed specifically please don't hesitate to message me.

When picking a photo to purchase simply click on the photo you like and click on the heart in the top right hand corner. It'll ask for your email and create a favourites album for you, I'll be able to see that album and know which photos you'd like to purchase.

Please don't hesitate to ask any questions.

🤣 There is a whole story behind this memory

It’s been a while since we have travelled with 2 dogs. They behaved pretty well. Lots of walks in -20 and more 💩 picking up than I am used to (we live on 100 acres…ours use the bush!) Brio got better with kidlets, she checked out the ‘landslide’ in Horseshoe Bay and after being told no to the kidlets stuffies they both went nuts at the last overnighter in Squamish where they pilfered through the dog designated toys and found all the squeakies known to dog kind (they emptied 15 from the bin unless you count the hollow log containing 🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿…then it is 20). Now home for normal life.

Son and mother both got ears cleaned up today. Two different ideas from two different groomers as to what to do with toller ears!

The ‘Ducklings’ are growing so quickly! Little Widgeon has such a sweet face. Well all toller babies do, we are just partial to our own!

Little ‘Ducklings’. These are the three boys out of our Kijabewinds boy, Duck. Eider, Widgeon and Brandt. It was so delightful to meet them in the fur and I’m so glad they all have homes because ….oh the temptation 💕 But right now my life is full.

Our daughter and son in law were perplexed at the new stat holiday paying them extra for a holiday about Truth and Reconciliation and connected with True North Aid to create this campaign. Are you receiving stat pay for this new holiday? How is that making a difference to Truth and Reconciliation? Consider this option and see if we can make a difference

Join federal employees across the country by donating your statutory day on the Truth & Reconciliation Day, September 30th.

I am very proud to announce that Kijabewinds Orbit Star Tracker ‘Duck’ has officially become a Certified Service Dog. His people did not expect this to be part of owning their FIRST dog. However it quickly became apparent that Duck had a sense for his owner’s needs and they began the certification process, finishing it in record time.
ALSO Duck is expecting his first litter at the end of this month with Kasomor’s Guess Again ‘Ghillie’. This is nothing short of a miracle as the timing for his lady was tightly timed with the required (BC Justice Institute) neuter….achieved just over 12 hours before he was neutered.

We have 10 breedings on ice for Duck and look forward to this handsome boy passing on his brilliant qualities to some offspring. https://www.k9data.com/pedigree.asp?ID=939160
