Holiday greetings from Glacial Tollers. 🎄

21/11/2024

Our super-sweet girl Rise is 5 1/2 months old.
She is a joy to live with.

Today we got together with some of our puppy families for a hike. At Glacial Tollers we pride ourselves on building a relationship with our puppy families. A puppy is not a transaction; it is a cherished life and we want to know how they are doing throughout their lifetime.
Thank you to everyone who was able to join us today!

On Friday and Saturday we were at the Trillium conformation show in Lindsay ON.
On Friday Tessa won WB / BOW / BOS and earned her Championship.
Rise won the Baby Puppy class at her first-ever show.
On Saturday our girl Aerial won BOS in both shows earning points towards her Grand championship.
We are very proud of our girls not only for their wins, but also for their resilliance at this very busy show environment.

We are having so much fun with this puppy!
At 18 weeks of age Rise just earned her Novice Trick Dog title.

Does a Toller need to wear a coat? In most cases probably not, but we like to be prepared.

Rise (formerly Beryl) is growing up. Tomorrow the litter turns 4 months old.
Here is a video of some of the training we've done this week.

We are happy to report that all the puppies are doing well and thriving in their new homes. Thank you so much to their owners for loving them as much as we do and sending updates on a regular basis. ♡

Yesterday our girl Rise (Glacial's Out Of The Ashes) went for her first eye exam. We are happy to report that the Veterinary Ophthalmologist Dr Nick Whelan reported that both her eyes are *normal*. The technician also said she was a perfect patient who stayed still for her exam. Good puppy

It's been both busy and quiet here the last week and a half. The puppies have gone to their new homes and are all doing well with their families.
One puppy has stayed here as our keeper. This is "Rise" (formerly Beryl / pink girl). She is a super sweet little puppy and we are loving having her here to grow up with us.

It is important to help your puppy learn from an early age that regular grooming is a positive thing. Go easy, don't overwhelm them, and in time you can have a dog that falls asleep while you do their "pawdicures".

03/08/2024

It is our last full day together.
Tomorrow the Birthstone litter begin to go to their forever homes. It's a bittersweet time letting them go and trusting that I've done everything I can to prepare them for their new lives.
Turquoise, Citrine, Beryl, Topaz, Emerald and Tanzanite - go knowing you are cherished and will always have a home where you are loved.

Thank you to Dr Kolas and *all* of the amazing staff at the Holland Landing Animal Hospital for your wonderful care of our puppies. Everyone had their first vaccine, check up, and microchip implantation this morning.
Gold stars all around.

Wednesday morning sillies.

Getting sticky out here today so it was time for the "big pool". Closely supervised and mostly drained when I stepped out of the pen.
These puppies love water.

Today we played on a safe unstable surface.

27/07/2024

Today the puppies went for a drive to The Farm Ashburn for an adventure. They went running, exploring, swimming (fully supported), and learned to find their way out of the long grass that Mesa led them through.
They came home happy and tired. ♡

The ball pit was extra fun this morning because treats were tossed in to find. ♡
