My husband, Jon, and I had been considering getting a second dog for a while and timing felt right. We got Hank Williams, also a Duck Tolling Retriever, almost three years ago from an alternate breeder who has made the hard decision not to breed anymore. I had been following Daintree on Instagram for about two years and when the Spring Fling Litter was born, I knew I had to submit an application. We were lucky enough to be selected to receive a puppy and Trisha and her team have been great through the whole process. We have received multiple sources of information (training manual, puppy culture videos and the Daintree Website) to learn more about how to raise a new dog. I did not realize how much information I was missing. We were also able to watch the puppies develop through Facebook, Instagram and Zoom. We thought we had it good with Hank when he came home crate trained. Our new pup, George Straight, is crate trained, basically house trained (if you are following the advice on when to let your pup out from Puppy Culture), able to handle noise/startle and all social situations we have put him in. Due to the COVID19 situation, travel was a challenge, but Trisha worked with all of the families to best accommodate their pickup situations. We highly recommend Trisha and Daintree as the breeder you choose to receive a toller from.
