We are Lieuwe and Jennifer and we live in Kolham, a small
town near the city of Groningen in the North of the Netherlands. We have
four
male tollers, Kay-lo, McKai, Huey
and his son Dasher. We got our first toller Kay-lo in 2008. He is also the reason why we fell in love with this breed so deeply. Kay-lo really is an easy going work-a-holic and his passion to work is amazing to see. His looks, his temperament and his way of doing things completly stole our hearts. When Kay-lo was 2,5 years old we brought home our second toller McKai. Kay-lo showed McKai all the things there is to know in the world of being a dog in our household. McKai has also grown up into an amazing working dog. Lieuwe has been training Kay-lo and Jennifer has been training McKai. Both dogs are active gundogs in competitions but also in the field. It's an amazing experience to be able to work with dogs who love to work with and for you. |

| When Kay-lo was 8 years old
we welcomed our third
Toller, Huey, to our pack. Although
Kay-lo was still working
amazing in the field, he
didn't enjoy the
competitions anymore and we
knew that in a couple of
years his body would
experience some difficulties
in the field due to the
tough areas he has to work
in. Therefore, we thought it
would be the best time to
train Huey so he could learn
from Kay-lo and take over
from him when things
would get to heavy for our
oldest friend. |

In 2020 we imported a son of Huey from Finland. His name is
Dasher and just like the other boys we will be training/working
with him as well. We work actively with our dogs, mainly in hunting (retrieving (dummies and cold game), blood work, practicul hunt) but also nose work, body awareness are activities we do with our dogs. We enjoy working with them and fortunately they also find it great to work for us.. Because of our dogs we have met some amazing people along the way. Some of them we can even call one of our best friends, which is an amazing bonus of having a dog. We also became more experienced in different disciplines. We started showing our dogs at dog shows and started competing in countries outside the Netherlands (shows, tolling tests and blood tracking). So you could argue that a dog really enriches your life. |

We believe that our dogs have many fine qualities which
would be very beneficial and valuable to pass on to the next
generation. This is why we have done all the possible
health
tests to make them available as a stud dog. We try to do our best to make the
best possible combinations to improve this breed, by looking at
the breed standard,
the looks, health and character of
all the dogs involved.
On our website you can find a lot of information about our dogs and our activities. Please contact us if you would like to know more about our boys. |
