We, that means Sandra (born in 1976, responsible for everything concerning the dogs and also author of this website) and Alexander (born in 1974, designates himself as "main cuddler" of our dogs, but also does the agility training with Ayita). We are married since 2005 and our little daughter was born in 2007. We live in Wohltorf, that's a little village near Hamburg.

We first heard about tollers in 1999 when a portrait of this breed appeared in the journal "Partner Hund". Our crossbreed at that time, Fridolin, bore resemblance to the pictures we found there, so that we got curious to know more about this breed. Ever since, we were bond to the toller, even though we were not able to take in a pup for a long time, as this would just not have fitted to our live at that time.

In 2004, I found the new homepage of Sinaida Sens by chance (www.dewberrys.de). Her toller bitch Paya was only three months old at that time. We started an intensive e-mail contact, which evolved into a confiding friendship. It was quickly clear that our first toller had to stem from this bitch and this breeder.

In 2005, our beloved Fridolin died prematurely when he was only eight years old. We were very shocked and terribly sad. But after only three months without a dog we could not wait any longer and so Cinja, a one year old Spanish crossbreed, came to us.

All this time, we were able to watch Paya's development, and in February 2007, I even accompanied Sinaida to a "mating journey" with Paya to Sweden. Everything was very fascinating, which led to Alex's and my idea of an own kennel – provided that Paya's first litter contained a bitch which would be declared fit for breeding later on.

And this was the case when on 13 April 2007 – by the way exactly Fridolin's 10th birthday – Paya's A-litter saw the light of day, with two male dogs and one bitch. Therefore, we did not have difficulties of choosing. Our delightful Ayita moved to us on 10 June 2007 and developed to our expectations ever since – therefore we are proud to start our toller breeding with her.
