Foster Program

In order to keep our "in-house" number of dogs low so that we can give them optimum care & attention, we occasionally have breeding stock to place in approved "foster homes". Foster families must live in the Calgary, AB area, we reserve show/breeding rights for our foster dogs and all dogs in our foster program must be kept intact (not spayed/neutered!)

The foster family must agree to follow certain conditions set out in our Caregiver/Foster Agreement, please notice this includes the dog coming back to Tollwest once a year to raise litters for us (girls) or occasionally coming back to us for stud services (boys).

Once a foster female is finished in our breeding program (usually after 3 litters), she is spayed and CKC ownership transferred to the foster family and then lives permanently with the foster family. Foster males are generally placed into foster homes under an agreement to keep the dog intact until 7 years old. Please contact us for more details!

We occasionally have younger dogs/puppies that are available to foster homes, there may be a fee (in addition to retaining show/breeding rights) for foster puppies.

We currently have no dogs available in our foster program.

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.
