Although Tollers are generally health, problems do crop up. Breeders of today have the ability to have genetic testing specific to their breed which helps reduce the risk of hereditary issues.

We strive to produce dogs that are sound, healthy and true to the breed standard and abide by the NSDTR Club of Canada Code of Ethics.

All dogs used in our breeding program are subject to a full panel of health tests before they are considered for breeding. As well, our dogs must have a Canadian CKC championship on them to ensure they meet the breed standard before being bred. The health tests include the Toller health panel carried out through  UC Davis Veterinary Medicine’s Veterinary Genetics Laboratory; hips and elbows , a CAER eye exam, thyroid testing,  through the OFA (Orthopaedic Foundation For Animals) and and supplementary tests including through GenSol Diagnostics for Collie Eye Anomaly; Degenerative Myelopathy: Progressive Rod-Cone Degeneration.

We also advocate for limited vaccinations and titre test our dogs before vaccinating.
