Meet the breeder

I'm Tawni A., the breeder behind Stellar Kennels located in Guthrie, OK. We are a small show kennel dedicated to producing champions as well as quality companions. We focus on conformation, temperament and genetic health. We are AKC Breeders of Merit and have produced many AKC champions.

Q. & A. with Tawni

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We want to do our part to better the breed. Our breeding program strives to maintain the unique characteristics of the Duck Tolling Retriever while placing an emphasis on producing puppies of superior conformation, health, and temperament. It is an honor to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same joy that we have found in raising these wonderful dogs!
  • What makes your program special?

    Stellar Kennels is committed to only breeding dogs that we feel are excellent representations of their standard and will make a positive contribution to their breed and to the families who love them. Our puppies are raised with love and we strive to help each one grow up with confidence so they are ready to leave with their new families. They are affectionate, intelligent, and cute as can be!
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

  • PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), Addison's Disease (Research), Cleft Palate (DLX6)
