Welcome to Tollchester Kennels. We live just outside of Chilliwack BC. Our home is located in a quiet
country setting with access to plenty of exquisite wetlands, lakes and rivers.
At Tollchester we strive for versatility in our breeds. That is why we breed our Tollers and Manchesters to
have the abilities to work in agility, flyball, confirmation, obedience, field work (Retrievers) and earth trials (Terriers)
Health, Temperament and Conformation are our top priorities at Tollchester. This is why all our puppies are
raised in our home with proper socialization and care.

TOP TWO REASONS NOT TO GET A TOLLER
1. THE SCREAM- Many Tollers have a penetrating
scream which they produce to indicate excitement and eagerness. To the uninitiated, this can sound like the dog is being fed
into a wood chipper; it's high pitched, frantic and loud. Not all Tollers scream, but many do. If you are unable to teach
quiet manners, or live in a neighborhood where dog noise will get you in trouble, or just don't like dogs who make noise,
this is not the breed for you. The scream is usually a reaction to an exciting stimulus (water, a toy, a ball) rather than
a constant behavior, but it can be annoying.
2. NOT EVERYONE'S BEST FRIEND- If you are looking for a dog who wants to be the worlds best friend,
the Toller may not be for you. Tollers are gentle and kindly and many can be quite outgoing, but if you are looking for a
dog with that Lab "I just met you and your my best friend" attitude, the Toller may be wrong for you. The toller will greet
strangers happily, but generally reserve true ethusiasm for their family and special people.
TOP TWO REASONS NOT TO GET A MANCHESTER
TERRIER
1. WATCH YOUR CAT - Many Manchesters do just fine in households with cats or other animals. They do have
a strong prey drive, however. If you don't want your cat chased, this may not be the dog for you. The chasing will be all
in fun, but it is likely to happen.
2.LOVES EVERY DOG: If this is the type of personality you are looking for
in a pet. A Manchester may not be for you. Some Manchester’s like dogs but they must be brought up at a young age
with dogs and properly socialized. If you don’t socialize your Manchester at a young age don’t be surprised if
one day he growls at a passing dog.
