Good Morning BBB. Here is our pup - the breeder has been leaning toward this guy for us all along - outstanding temperament and structure with a bit of sass. Love this chubby puppy stage. We pick him up in 2 weeks. Lisa - praying you are negative. Mary - good to talk to you yesterday. Lisa's idea of silk flowers sounds…

Good Morning BBB. I may never get caught up reading post but ... Sam - I hope you are better soon. Lisa - praying for negative results - I love your perspective. Thank you. BBB get together sounds wonderful. Can't wait to hang out. Do good out there everyone.

Good Morning BBB 19 days until we pick up our pup. Lee - so exciting - can't wait to see the pups. I would be begging you for one f the opportunity to get our Toller had not come up through our vet. Kelly - good luck Lou - I hope you had fun! Sam - your yoga peeps are lucky to have you. Steph - enjoy the distillery Do good…

Is this just BBBers or spouses too?

Lisa - our pup will still be "in training" at that time - let's talk and I can explain how I handle it with hotels, rentals, etc

Good Morning BBB. I just saw and RSVP'ed to the BBB get-together - YIPPEE!! Lisa - thanks for organizing - you rock!! Reach out and I can help. Bill - I hope you feel better with a day of rest. I am just seeing that you had a procedure yesterday - I thought it was just a doc appointment. 25 days but who is counting 🐾

Tom and I are in if we can bring our pup - I am just seeing this so I have to ask Tom 🤣 BBB will be the best experience for a future working dog. Thanks for organizing.

Good Morning BBB. I wrote a comment yesterday and did not hit post - arg. Lee - if we did not have the opportunity to get this "pick" male Toller from strong hunting parents I would be begging for one of AB's pups. We were raised with a Springer - best dog ever! Do good out there everyone.

Lee - Wisconsin veterinarian - breeder of Duck Tollers and German Shorthaired Pointers - she and her hubby are hunting and hunt trial enthusiasts. Her practice focuses on fitness, rehab, and canine athletes.

Lisa - super excited for the little ones engagement - seems they are a wonderful match.

Good Morning BBB. One of these Duck Toller puppies will join our family - 5 boys and 3 girls - ours will be a male and we will pick him up about 3/14 - he will be 10 weeks then and have soaked up tons of socialization and experiences in the veterinarian breeder's home with her 4 and 2 legged family. We don't know which boy…

Good Morning BBB. I have to read and catch up. Heading to Naples midday to meet prospective Duck Toller parents. Our first meeting with a local Duck Toller family. They have a littler every years or so. Congrats to the losers. I have been on 1300 - 1400 kcal per day for years. This number allows me to cheat and cheating…

Good Morning BBB. I can't believe January is almost over! Visiting parents of planned litter in Naples on Sunday - Can't wait. Dennis - Tollers are cool dogs - they are not over bred and such. Usually too much dog for typical pet family. Steph - I hope you get the gig down here near us - what is the timing on that one?…

Good Morning BBB. New cars, date nights, BBB visits, snow, and more - oh my you all are busy. Sunday we are going to visit the parents of a planned Duck Tolling Retriever litter - they will breed as soon as the female comes into heat. Meeting the parents will tell us if a pup from this litter could be suited for us. Love…

Good Morning BBB. Our vet nixed the puppy that we tested - structural issues. The search continues. Leaning toward smaller male golden/Lab mix or male Duck Tolling Retriever. Sam - I hope you are feeling better. Kelly and Mary - enjoy! And Mary - congrats of being back to pre-holiday weight - WOOT!! Lisa - are you loving…

Good Morning BBB We are heading back up to Port St Joe to test 2 puppies - one from each litter - a little over 6 weeks old - a bit younger than optimum testing age but it will be fine. I’ll try to hop in more - my routine is all messed up lately. Do good out there everyone.

Good Morning BBB. Looked at puppies yesterday - oh my! We drove up to the panhandle to meet a 92 year old retired veterinarian that has been breeding dogs for 75 years. He breeds Goldens and Lab-Golden mixes. We are looking for a mix. Checked out his dogs, current pups, and parents of planned spring litters. Two litters of…

Good Morning BBB. Lee - so proud of the boys - I was labeled least likely to succeed - people do such damage. Off to a final holiday vendor event - this one runs from 10 - 3 and worth it to make community connections. Wrapped gifts for our neighbors and we will drop them by before Christmas. Tom did not want us to include…

Good Morning BBB. With all this poofing of posts I feel like we got robbed. Met the neighbors directly across the canal - they are wonderful. So the 3 houses across the canal all have nice people and the only toxic people are the couple in the house next to our house - that is okay - we have them surrounded! Hoping Rita's…
