My boyfriend and I began looking for a dog over a year and a half ago, looking for the perfect hunting companion. We were curious about what breeds (other than a springer,) would suit our needs and found the Toller, which neither of us had heard about before. We continued researching and decided it was time to find a breeder.
We couldn't be more happy that Daintree (and Trisha) was the breeder we found. The entire process was amazing, she kept everyone up to date with pictures and information and she was a fountain of knowledge. We felt comfortable asking her questions (no matter how silly they were) which she would respond to in a fast manner.
We got a puppy from the Splash Litter (Denim x Tiffany,) Daintree's Jacques Cousteau and there is not enough praise we can give Trisha. This dog is the perfect companion in every way. He has gone back to his Toller roots as a hunting dog, and as a young puppy he has already demonstrated tracking in the field. He is learning to retrieve. He is well tempered and a dream.

Trisha works with all the young puppies, socializing them, and you can tell that he was brought up with love and care. The stepping stones she started with him helped make an easy transition from breeder to owner, and he is an absolute delight. I highly recommend that anyone looking for a Toller (seriously looking,) fills out the application for Trisha. You will be thankful you did.
In the future after JC is older and we are ready for another Toller puppy we know that Daintree is where we will go because Trisha gets it right. Daintree dog owners become family with one another, and it is the greatest thing to experience.
