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 smart, sassy and
accomplished, earning titles in agility, obedience, rally, conformation and field. She is a  
recipient of the Rusty Jones award, which recognizes Tollers who complete CH, CD and WC
titles. She also earned enough titles to qualify for the NSDTRC USA's Versatility Excellent Award
(VCX). Gem is now 16 and enjoys a life of leisure.

Many of her puppies have followed in her footsteps. Check our litters page for more information.

June
UACH SHR Zephyr's Day in June WC RE OA AXJ OF 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 5 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
UACH CH Zephyr's Evelyn Echo RN OA AXJ NF
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 and a nice amount of drive without
being as over the top as her mother. She is my first champion out of the Bred By class.

Our co-owned dogs

Eta
CH Zephyr's Eta Carinae CD RN WC JH
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 and finished her AKC CH in February of 2011. That completed her requirements for a
Rusty Jones award.

Tobago
Zephyr's Flusher of Dux
Tobago resides in the Kansas City, KS area and right now we only get to see him a few times a
year. He is very busy dog, however, as his owners compete with him in disc dog competitions
and he is in training for agility, obedience, rally and field.


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.

Tilia
Manitou's Bird in Hand 4 Zephyr
We lost Tilia tragically and unexpectedly. She was a wonderfully sweet dog who is greatly
missed by us all.
