Why get a older toller puppy?
Below are a few reasons why you could consider a older puppy and at what ages would be best suited for your family based
on our 'puppy success' training program.
Puppies raised by Tollchester follow a protocal when being raised and a majority will have set or passed the below requirements
in each age group. To ensure your toller puppy is trainned to your expectations you will get a written critique about
the puppy you are interested in when he or she is available for adoption.
Purchase price of each puppy will vary based on their training. Our puppy price for older puppies includes a puppy care
package, written contract (which generally includes rebates on spay/neuter and/or health clearances), Canadian or American
Kennel Club registration, tattoo or microchip, temperament testing, structure evaluations, vaccine(s), vet check(s), a leash,
collar and a bumper. For anyone interested in breeding we also offer mentorship or foster programs.
