Upcoming Litters at Dalry
Dalry Tollers are bred with original purpose, health and temperament at
the forefront. Dalry puppies are bred with an emphasis on correct
working temperament, and while preference is given to homes that will
participate in dog sports, there are always those puppies who will do best
in an active family home, and I welcome inquiries from families who can
provide an active and stimulating lifestyle for a Dalry puppy.
Tollers are the only breed at Dalry. This lets me put my energy and
thought processes into breeding the best dogs I can and allows me to
work with each of my dogs in multiple dog sports, which gives me a good
understanding of each dogs' strengths and weaknesses. Matching my
girls to the best males I can find for each of them involves many months
or years of research and planning. I generally have some ideas of where I
want to go next! Stud dogs are chosen based on their temperaments,
overall health, my knowledge of their pedigrees and I always prefer to use
a raw-fed, minimally vaccinated stud dog, if that dog fits my other criteria.
Litters at Dalry are not an annual happening. Generally I breed when I'm
in a position to keep a puppy for myself or I have enough committed
buyers to justify breeding. The amount of time and energy needed to
raise puppies the way I want to raise them means that I cannot manage
more than one litter every 18-24 months. Yes, there may be a wait for a
Dalry puppy, but aren't good things worth waiting for?
Tally will be bred during the winter of 2008, with puppies expected in
February or March of 2009. Pending his clearances the sire of this litter
will be Torlan's Kindred Spirit. Diego is a son of BIS/BISS Am/Can Ch.
Ruaview's Cape Breton Schooner CGC. The resulting pedigree brings
together two multi-generation Best In Show lines. Like Tally, Diego is raw
fed, and has received an extremely limited vaccination protocol. Contact
Laura at lnorie@goldcity.net for more information.
All litters are raised in the house, with
plenty of activity around them and
exposure to the usual household noises.
In the first two weeks puppies are given
Early Neurological Stimulation, a series of
five exercises performed daily to improve
cardiovascular performance, stimulate
stronger heartbeats and the adrenal
system, and develop better stress
tolerance and disease resistance. You can

Puppies are introduced to our adult dogs
and our cat, and are exposed to our
shop/farm equipment and moving
vehicles. We invite friends to socialize the
puppies from a very early age and they
are taken for walks around our pastures
and the neighbouring fields. We also do
our best to litter-train winter puppies, and
all puppies will have spent time in crates at
night.
Puppies are thoroughly checked by our
own veterinarian before leaving Dalry.
