At 05.30 in the morning Star was born, he was healthy and active and there was no problems at all. But we knew there was one more puppy. Two hours later nothing had happend and we went to the vets for help. They did what they could, but with sadness we saw they lost the other one. His heart was beating, but he did'nt manage to breath. That was also a very nice male with white markings.
So Star ended up as only puppy and that's why he also got the name Exclusive......
Fortunelately we had Pollys litter, they were one week older and from the age of 4 weeks Star spent most of his time togheter with them and got a form of normal puppylife.
Zamantha also demanded to spend time with him, she was playing with him and feeding him until he left and I have never seen a bitch loving a puppy so much as Zamantha did. She told him what was wrong, so he also knew that, but it was a very special contact with these two.
It was with tears in our eyes we let him go, he is so special and adorable, but with 6 dogs already in our house, we had no choice.
Now he is at Agildes kennel in Sweden and had already got a good friend in his halfsister, Zarina.
We tested him with cold game before he left, and he was spontaneous on picking it up, he also used his nose quite good, so it will be exciting to follow this guy in the future.
October 2007:
Star is now almost 6 months old and so far he has a good development. He really loves to retrieve and there is no stress. An unsual combination for a toller, so it will be exciting to see how this goes. He has done his first tracking without any problems and at the end of october he will go for his first puppy show.
July 2008:
Star is now 14 months, since last time he has been to several shows and has mostly got excellent. In July he entered one of the Circuit shows and WDS in Stockholm. He became best junior dog both days and got the title JWW-08.
July 2009:
Star has now passed 2 years and got became SU(u)CH now in June. His hips and elbows are checked to B and 0/0. There has been a lot of questions for using him in breeding, but we will at first let him go on a mating or two, then see what happens.
Probably will the first mating take place this autumn.
Still he is a wondererful male, so friendly and loved to be cuddled.
There are new photos on his gallery.
