Dasher was born on Monday 23 December 2019 in Jumesniemie, Hämeenkyrö (30 kilometers from Tampere), Finland at
Kennel Magic Fox. He has 3 brothers and 3 sisters.
Dasher is a son of our boy Huey.
He is a very active, playful and adventurous young dog. He is very happy and open minded and respects other animals. This makes him also a very easy going dog to take with you to different places.
He loves people a lot. It's
difficult for him not to say
'Hi' to everyone.
Working with his nose and investigating all sorts of things is one
of his favourite things to do. He loves being challenged and is very
persistent in getting the job done.
During his first year of
life, we paid attention to
basic obedience and began
to explore where Dasher's
passion lies. |

The first two years were not always easy because of COVID-19.
Much of the year the country was in lock down or the measures were so limited, we were not able to expose him as much to events, large groups of people and dogs. Nonetheless, he did pick up everything
very well and seems to enjoy everything we do.
He has completed three Body Awareness courses and we have
continued the training on a
weekly basis. Here he learns
to move consciously over
different articles/surfaces.
He really enjoys this and is
very curious. We will
continue to do this for the
time being as it is good for
the development of his body
and he clearly enjoys it.
Because of lockdowns, we could not train in a (puppy) hunting group in his first year and therefore started working with dummies and
cold game ourselves. In the second year it was possible to start training in a hunting group from the summer on. For him a new experience where he also learned a lot.
At the end of the '21 season he participated in two competitions and despite everything was new, he did great and got an SJP B
certificate.
Besides the hunting training he has been along on a number of occasions for practical hunting. He has already
collected some nice
retrieves but there is still
plenty to learn. You can
clearly see that retrieving
is his thing and he enjoys
it.
He is also
absolutely crazy
about water. You
can't walk past a
puddle or ditch
without him being in
it. Something that
is often fine but at
times can also be
very annoying and
irritating,
especially when
you're on time or
when he has to stay
'clean and dry'.

But I guess that's also part
of life with a Toller too!
He participated in his first show in September 2020. He didn't know where to look, so many people and dogs were there (up until that point the whole country was in lockdown). He had not been introduced to so many crowds before and was very curious to investigate everything and everyone. He clearly had fun and got a nice result (BOS).
In 2021 we were able to get
more show experience and
will continue to do so in
the future. At this point in
time, he still needs a little more time
to develop and mature. Many judges liked him, but indicated that they thought he was too youthful
for his age and class.
Something we as owners don't
mind at all.

We are hoping that this year we can attend some more events/competitions to give
him more experience. Something we are looking forward to.
Because of his character, good working ability and health results we have decided to
make him available as a stud, for suitable
females. All necessary tests have been done and the results can be found under health results.
If you want to use Dasher as stud or want more information, please contact us. |
