Pleasant news came today when we received the results of Zeppe’s Optigen testing for CEA. She has tested “Normal”, or Clear. This means she carries two normal genes and will never develop Collie Eye Anomaly (aka Choroidal Hypoplasia). She will also never be able to produce a puppy afflicted with this disease because her offspring [...]
It’s not as rare as say, Mississippi, but when we get a good heavy snow fall it is always a treat for the dogs. We got just such a treat last Thursday. I wish I had some nice pictures of my Tollers to share, but unfortunately the camera wasn’t working and I got nothing. Lucky [...]
Comox had a blast along with 40 or so other Tollers, including his Grandma Mia and Grand-uncle Pike, at the annual BC Toller Walk. Not daunted by the cold, icy water in Barnet Marine Park, he and pappa Marcello were found taking a swim on more than one occasion. More pictures are available on Patrick [...]
Happy Birthday to the A Litter!! One year ago today Zeppe gave birth to 4 beautiful puppies and Caliber Tollers was presented with their first litter. It is hard to believe they are a year old already!
Happy Birthday to:
Red, now known as Caliber’s Alpine to Ocean Livin aka Comox
Miss Orange, now known as Caliber’s [...]
Angel, aka Caliber’s Angioletto, flew into Toronto, Canada today to live with her new family, Frank Patten and Jennifer Brown. Frank and Jennifer are no strangers to Tollers. In fact, they own Angel’s Aunt Willow, a littersister to Zeppe. They have done well in agility with Willow and hope to do the same with Angel [...]

The girls, Apple and Angel from the A Litter, had their first bath tonight. Yesterday the family decided to grill outdoors for Easter. It was a delicious meal, but said family forgot to put a can under the grill to catch the grease drippings. The pups couldn’t help themselves and they were lapping up their [...]
I am afraid I have been remiss with my updates and pictures lately. This past weekend found me in bed with the flu and I am still trying to get my energy back.
The big news this past week was Kyle coming to pick up Marlin on Friday. Kyle reports that Marlin is settling in just [...]
This past week has flown by. The puppies are 8.5 weeks old now. Tuesday I got home a little early as the pups had an appointment with the vet for their final checkup. We finally got a break from the cold weather here in Missouri - it got up into the 40’s! All the puppies [...]
It is hard to believe they are 7 1/2 weeks old already! Time flies when you are having fun. The pups are demanding a lot more time now as they require a lot more exercise and individual attention. I am afraid I haven’t gotten very many pictures taken during this week. Last weekend I had [...]
