Zephyr Kennel - Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers
In Residence
Gem
UACHX UCDX SHR UKC/NSDTRC CH Lonetree's Gem Adamantine CD RN WC AX OAJ
Gem is our foundation bitch and our introduction to the breed. She is is smart, sassy and
accomplished. As you can see by her titles, she is worked in agility, obedience, conformation
and field. In addition to the titles listed above, she has also a recipient of the Rusty Jones award,
which recognizes Tollers who complete CH, CD and WC titles and earned enough points to
qualify for the NSDTRC USA's Versatility Excellent Award (VCX).
Many of her puppies have followed in her footsteps. Check our litters page for more information.
June
UAGII Zephyr's Day in June WC RE NA NF OAJ CD
June is a granddaughter of Gem, out of Ghillie, who is from Gem's 2001 litter. We knew we
wanted her to stay when she began scaling a 30 inch xpen at 6.5 weeks old. Now 4 years old,
she has earned enough titles to qualify for the Toller Club's Versatility certificate and is following
in her grandmother's pawprints, poised to up that to a VCX within the next few years.
Lark
Zephyr's Evelyn Echo
Lark is out of June's first litter, born Easter Sunday 2008. Though it was really too soon for us to
add another dog I was very drawn to this pup from the get go. She is very balanced, with nice
angles and a pretty head. She has a wonderful temperament, is curious about everything and
wants to go everywhere! Currently her favorite past times are walking on the back of our couch
like a cat and playing with her mother June.
Our co-owned dogs
Tilia
Manitou's Bird in Hand 4 Zephyr
Tilia spends most of her time with her other owners but comes over to hang out with cousin
June and attend the occasional dog show. She's a lot of dog in a little package, and we just
couldn't pass up this breeding.
Eta
Zephyr's Eta Carinae
Eta lives with her co-owners in Ohio but we manage to connect every few months at the shows.
She won the 12-18 month class at the Canadian National Specialty in Kitchner, ON in May of
2009. She is maturing into a lovely bitch. She is currently being worked in both field and
obedience and should get a chance to display her new talents in 2010.
In our hearts and minds
Rosie
UACH UCD SHR Lonetree's Just My Style RN WC
Rosie was a retrieving fool and very single minded about "fetchin' it up", whether it was tennis
balls, bumpers or birds. She taught us much about fieldwork, heart and stamina. She is greatly
missed.
