Tollwest Cherry Cola

(Ch Tollwest's Playin' With Fire PCD, CGN, CGC, TT x Ch Tollwest's Wild Cherry Pepsi)
Born February 10 2005

Cola was was co-bred by Simone Sortwell of Tollchester Kennels, and represents several generations of my dogs on both sides of her pedigree. Cola is now living the life of a much-loved pet here in Calgary.

Cola has a beautiful face and expression, nice white markings, lovely balance with lots of reach and drive. She is 17.25" tall and 29 lbs. Cola is very active and energetic, she is also VERY bouncy - she has springs for legs -  her favorite hobby as a pup was jumping 6 feet straight up in the air to grab the crabapples off the tree in the yard!

Cola was only been shown one weekend, she didn't think it was the most fun place, and she was very slow to mature, so was retired before her career really begun! She has gotten some training in obedience, agility, flyball and field. She is very birdy and is a retrieving maniac with a natural talent for marking. She is extremely intelligent (also known as too smart for her own good! ;)  and shows excellent attention and focus.

She became a mommy much earlier than planned (Tango was very determined, and escaped from his kennel and into the yard to find her!) she ended up raising a litter of 3 beautiful puppies born July 12/06 - despite this litter being an "oops" we are very thrilled with the quality of the litter. The female "Jazz" won a Best Puppy In Show her first time in the ring, and in 2008 also earned her WC!

Unfortunately one of Cola's hips did not pass OFA evaluation, so she has been removed from our breeding program. Her elbows & patellas are both OFA Normal, and she has a normal CERF exam.


If you are seeking a "bargain puppy" or are "price shopping" please look elsewhere. If you are seeking a quality, well-bred Toller or Chesapeake with the correct temperament & instincts, with breeders who will act as a support system throughout the dogs lifetime, please contact us. We sell all of our puppies on contracts that protect the breeder and buyer and most importantly, the puppy. Most breeders we refer to use the same, or similar contracts.

We care about our dogs and their future. We health test all our breeding stock and know the history behind them, not just the sire and dam. There are lots of breeders out there that sell their puppies for less than we do. But remember the old saying. "You get what you pay for."

At Tollwest Kennels, we feed and recommend a raw food diet. All our puppies are weaned to a raw diet diet for optimum health, nutrition and development. We are also advocates of limited vaccine protocols. Please ask for more information.
