I would like to contribute to the development of the Toller in a small(!) and very well planned scale. I am dedicated to promoting physically and mentally healthy, talented dogs. While they of course will meet the requirements set by the standard, I am happy that this standard permits some freedom none the less. I would like to quote the genetics specialist Hellmuth Wachtel: „(…) It is genetical nonsens to discard excellent dogs from the breeding program only because they have for example a white spot somewhere it doesn´t belong. Significantly more tolerance is urgently required when it comes to less important characteristics.” (“Hundezucht 2000”, published by Kynos, Germany)” Breeding dogs within such a small population is particularly challenging. Without the support of Marianne and Günter Walkemeyer I would not dare. We are breeding within the German Retriever Club with all its rights and duties. For more information I refer to Homepage. Puppy Buyers At first sight it seems to be an easy thing to find right people for Tollers as this breed is so versatile and pretty. But those who are looking for a small version of a Show Golden will find a major difference. Tollers have a lot to offer, but in return they also ask for a lot. Those who are not willing to value the passion of this breed should choose another kind of dog. We will only give our puppies to those who… …will respect and treat them as team players and colleagues. …will love to be inspired by their enthusiasm. …will recognize and promote their talents. …will be able to question the way they interact with their dog in order to learn and adopt. …will love and maintain them until their end, irrespective of how healthy, beautiful and successful they have once been. To us it is important to get into contact with our puppy buyers early on so that both sides will have sufficient time to get to know each other and to build a lasting relationship that will continue beyond the time the puppy will have left our kennel.  UP
