Answer 1

This is a rare breed, and for good reason. They are NOT for everyone. They are NOT a Mini Golden Retriever! I have two goldens, and I have one Toller. I got my 5-year old Toller from a breeder in New Jersey, and I live in California. I made the three day road trip to pick up my puppy, only after waiting 14 months!! on the waiting list. Birdie's parents are both AKC Champions with 5 best in shows between the two of them.
The parents of your puppy should be tested and passed in OFA/CERF/CEA as well as cardiac passed.

This is a compiled list of guildelines to look for when choosing a Toller breeder, to the high standards of the breed club and the AKC:

You will want to expect to be on the breeder's waiting list for up to a year or more, and you will want the breeder to quiz and interview you before you are even considered for a puppy.
If you are serious about this breed, expect a high-energy, intelligent, active sporting dog that requires more exercise than even a Golden Retriever. This breed was bred to hunt and thrives on the chase and retrieval of birds. These dogs will gladly run after any flying bird in an attempt to bring it down, so they must be kept under control at all times.
Oh, and you should know they adore water and would love to live in it if they could, so expect that.

If you are looking for an ideal agility, hunting, retrieval, or swimming dog, the Toller may be for you.

Please do not consider this breed if you are simply struck by the beauty or build of the dog. They are true workers. They need a job, which is usually agility or hunting/retrieval.

My Birdie, Skies High to Birdie Flyin' MADCh3, lives for agility. She is a three-time National Finalist with USDAA, and holds 31 first place ribbons and 27 other titles in the sport.
She has achieved this because her drive is to work in the ring whenever she can, and we make a great team.

I hope you enjoy your search for your perfect dog.

Answer 2

Beautiful dogs, but definitely not for everyone and not a good beginner dog. They are extremely high energy and more independent than your average Golden Retriever.

Answer 3

Here is a great place to start.

This is the web site for "Field Trial News" And both parents must have their health clearances before they can advertise.

Each breed has a national organization, and each national organization usually has a web site.
