Tidelands is a dedicated small kennel located in Melbourne, Victoria, specializing in the breeding of Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers, affectionately known as Tollers. As registered breeders with Dogs Australia and proud members of Dogs Victoria and the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever Club of Victoria, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards in our breeding program. Our focus is on producing healthy, versatile, and well-tempered Tollers that not only meet the breed standard but also make exceptional family companions.
At Tidelands, we prioritize health and temperament through extensive health testing, including DNA tests and screenings for hips, elbows, and eyes. Our breeding program is centered around our two beautiful Tollers, Birdie and Biggie, who are not only beloved family members but also accomplished competitors in conformation showing and various dog sports. Birdie has achieved notable accolades, including being a Class in Group winner and the 2023 Royal Melbourne Show Best of Breed winner. We actively participate in dog shows and trials across Victoria, where we enjoy connecting with fellow dog enthusiasts and sharing our passion for this remarkable breed.
The name Tidelands pays homage to the natural beauty of the Bay of Fundy, known for its extraordinary tidal changes. This reflects our commitment to nurturing the unique qualities of the Toller breed, which has a rich history dating back to the early 19th century in Nova Scotia. Our dogs are not just athletes; they are intelligent, sensitive, and eager to engage with their families, making them perfect companions for active households. We invite you to follow our journey on social media and learn more about the wonderful world of Tollers at Tidelands.
