Meet the breeder
I'm Melinda V., the breeder behind Heaven Scent Tollers - Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers located in Bountiful, UT. We breed Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers. We breed with a focus on health and temperament. We expect our pups to have good socialization and training so they will have a great foundation of good behavior and neurological development.
Q. & A. with Melinda
Why did you start breeding?
I love my male - Tuxson! He is a very special guy and I wanted to pass along his traits and personality so others might have as wonderful life as he gives us. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to get my female (Grace) two years ago so here we are! I have an amazing breeder/mentor that knows everything there is to know about Tollers and is sharing that knowledge with me! This is will be our second litter!What makes your program special?
All health tests have been done on both dogs with the exception of OFA hips on Grace (she turned two in February). This breeding should produce healthy happy puppies! In addition, I plan on implementing early puppy socialization and stimulation exercises to enhance their abilities to the fullest!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
