"Oh, I don't care if a dog has awards or titles, I only want a pet."
I want to share a little knowledge with you and give answer to this statement that I hear often.

I get it, I do.

If you have no intention of competing with your dog you may feel it is irrelevant to you to find a breeder who titles their dogs. Let me give you a little something to think about though.

In order to get a title or an award or certificate on a dog you have to spend time with your dog. You have to work on obedience, you have to have a connection with the dog, you have to put time and effort in. You have to see what the dog is naturally capable of and work on the areas that do not come naturally. You have to have a bond with the dog and the harder the titles, the more you have to work at it.

What does this show about your breeder? It shows that they take time and effort and care in what they do. It shows that they do not just leave a dog in the backyard or in a kennel. It shows that the dog is socialized, has been taught some obedience (or A LOT of obedience) and it shows that they want to demonstrate that to others.

I often hear people say they want to vet a breeder to ensure they are not supporting a backyard puppy mill. Here are some questions to ask: What titles does your dog have? What training and skills were necessary to get that title? How long did you work at it? If your breeder is titling dogs, they are working at it, it is a daily task which means those dogs are getting a lot of human interaction.

You would be hard pressed to find a commercial breeder or a puppy mill owner who is actively working on each of their dogs trying to title or get merit certificates on them to demonstrate their abilities.

That is just one of the things that breeders who title their dogs are doing right.

The Tollers had a busy month in April! Lily came home with her first AKC Junior Hunter pass, Sadie & Kiki earned their AKC Companion Dog titles in Obedience, and Ranger earned his first Novice Standard Q in AKC Agility. Sadie will also qualify for the prestigious "Rusty Jones" award through the NSDTR Club for versatility this year! Love these versatile dogs, and everything they can do!! Can't wait to see what the rest of the summer brings for us!!!

Following up from the previous post, this is 7 week old Sable's first time with a real bird and one of the reasons why I decided she needed a hunting home! 🦆

Jumping for joy as an extremely proud breeder this weekend! 2 years ago, I placed "Sable" with Jeffrey Easley in Texas to be a pet hunting dog. Over the winter, he called me with some training questions and I suggested he follow Freddy King's online training program. He said he was hoping to run some tests this summer, and I suggested he come to the Texas Toller Two Step Hunt Tests Region 5 3 days of Fun Region 5, as a stepping stone for him. On Friday, they ran the BRT and passed, so he moved her up to the WC on Saturday, and they passed again. So today he moved her up to the WCI (intermediate level). They did not pass, but I saw a recording and I was impressed at the solid effort that was made! She is on her way! Sable's parents are Sadie & Ranger, and she is officially... Rosecreek's The Duck Stops Here WC. Thank you to Jeffrey for doing such a great job training, handling, and most importantly loving her!

Here is a video of her WC run:

Thought I'd share another fun Easter photo. Ranger earned his NADD (North American Diving Dogs) Hydrodash title last weekend at The Gated Dock. Hydrodash is a timed sport, where the dogs have to jump off the dock, swim out and pull the bumper down at the end of the pool, and swim back to you in under 30 seconds. It's an easy sport for Ranger, but one he GREATLY enjoys. Happy Easter, friends! 🐰🐇💖

I will return all emails/questions this week! Blessings to you all! 💕

Have to share a brag post on these two! This is one of Ranger's stud puppies, Willow, owned by Emily in California. In the past two weekends, Willow has earned her overall Master title in AKC Scent Work, their first Detective Q, her Companion Dog obedience title from the Novice A class, and their 5th QQ in AKC Agility. Working on that MACH! 👊 ...And she surfs! I can't express how proud we are of this team! ❤️
