Pekoe is my girl from our Tango x Spirit litter. She has lovely balance and structure, with a very outgoing and adventuresome personality, a beautiful head, and a bright red coat with lovely white markings. She is very athletic and has shown us lots of natural talent for jumping and climbing. She has a lot of natural drive for retrieving and for water. She is the happiest Toller I have ever met, she always has a big smile on her face.

She has a wonderful personality to train, she always tries her hardest to do things right, but also takes corrections well. She loves to train, and learns so fast it is sometimes a bit scary! She is 18.25" tall and weighs 36 lbs. She is a very slow maturing girl ...but at 3 yrs she is starting to fill out beautifully. She has had very limited showing in conformation, but has a 2 point major towards her Championship.

She is actively training/trialing in obedience & rally. She is such an honest & dependable worker; with very little training and no formal classes Pekoe has so far passed every trial she has competing in, with nice scores!

 Pekoe passed the Canine Good Neighbor test at 13 months old, and finished her Rally Novice title and Pre-Companion Dog title on the same day, at 15 months old. She easily finished her Companion Dog title & her Rally Advanced title in July/2010. We plan to move on the RE & CDX this fall, after she raises her second litter!

Pekoe is currently training for hunting & hunt tests, with plans for SR/WC/JH tests. She will also be hunted on ducks and upland birds later this season (after her pups leave to their new homes!).

We also plan on starting Pekoe in some agility, flyball & scent hurdle starting this winter.

Pekoe is from an Optigen PRA & CEA/CH Clear to Clear breeding. Her eyes are CERF tested Normal. Her hips are OFA Good, elbows Normal, patellas are OFA Normal. Her first litter was born July 9/2009, bred to our Billy (BPIG Ch Tollwest's Off My Rocker).

Her second litter is due in Aug/10, she has been bred to Kobe (Ch Tollwest's Flying Jumpshot RN CGN), puppies should be ready to go in Oct.

Pekoe will be taking 2011 off from raising puppies to focus on earning more titles (in agility, obedience, rally, conformation & field)



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.
