I'm Jeanine O., the breeder behind Mystic Tollers located in Midland, MI. Health, temperament, instinct, structure and drive are my top priorities in breeding. All of my breeding stock are health tested for all the available breed tests. Temperament is evaluated and breedings are carefully planned. Let's see if a Toller is right for you!
Q. & A. with Jeanine
Why did you start breeding?
I began breeding under the mentorship of Kathy Koebensky-Como and her late Husband, Jamie, who founded Vermilion Tollers in 1995. Since then, they have been breeding the ultimate versatile Tollers. I strive to continue the legacy of the Vermilion name. You can rest assured that my knowledge of the breed comes from mentors who have been involved in tollers since before their recognition by the AKC
What makes your program special?
My dogs have some of the best temperaments I have ever seen in tollers. I strive to ensure that the the hunting instinct is preserved on my pups, and introduce them to birds very early.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
