What is the process of adopting one of your puppies?

Are Duck/Toller Doodles High Energy?
No! There is a common misconception that Tollers are high energy. Tollers, like golden retrievers and labs, are bred for different roles. The lines that we use for our duck/toller doodles have low-medium low energy levels and are specifically bred for families and for therapy work. Our duck doodles are often more mellow than many other doodle crosses such as goldendoodles, labradoodles ect. This is partly due to our mild tempered tollers but also because we use moyen size poodles that are known to have the calm disposition of the standard poodle.
