Pixel is mated 19th, 20th and 21st of June 2011 - puppies are due around the 21st of August
Pixel is confirmed pregnant with ultrasonography. We counted the puppies to 8 plus/minus 1

This litter is for you who really want to work with your Toller and perhaps start in fieldtrial in the future or possibly compete on.
I think it would be good working tollers with plenty of game interest, lots of drive together with nice temperament and good conformation.

Boots and Pixel

Pixel and Boots are two good-natured, hard working Tollers with a wonderful temperament. They are soft to deal with without being wimpy.

They have a lot of hunting desire and retrieves all game they are presented for. Both have taken price in fieldtrials and are used in practical hunting and Boots also have titles from Canada. Pixel has performed mental behavior dog test and passed with nice scores and Boots has an obedience title in Canada. Both are shown with good results - Pixel have CK in the working class and placed among the best female and Boots is a Canadian champion.

Pixel is a rather large female with long back, while Boots is a pretty slender male who is somewhat more compact and I think they will complement each other well. They are also very similar in type and I like that.

It is Pixel's first litter, while Boots has a number of litters in Canada and in Europe. However, this is the only planned mating in Sweden before Boots is going back to Canada. In some litters after Boots, there have been umbilical hernia but there is nothing like that behind Pixel so I dare to use Boots and I'm very curious to see what becomes of the puppies, especially regarding the hunting skill since it is the old lines from kennel Harbourlights behind them.

The puppies are free from PRA because both parents are DNA tested and are free Normal/Clear. The parents are also CEA/CH tested and Boots are free while Pixel is carrier.
