KENAI! After about 8 years of dreaming and hoping the timing was finally right and I was able to get my first Toller. He's 11 weeks today and doing great. He is on Co-own and will be dabbling in conformation, agility, obed., rally, and hopefully anything else he shows aptitude for.

Congratulations on your new family member! What a cute little guy!

Have to ask...are the call name and registered name inspired by Disney's Brother Bear?

Here are some stacked pics I attempted yesterday at 11wks. I apologize for their size. Also this was my first attempt at ever stacking a puppy and I had no helper :/

How pretty! It looks like he'll be a good one for you, as well as an awesome home dog I'm sure.

thanks guys. I've never stacked a puppy before, and never on a table either. I know he won't be on one in the ring, but it seems helpful when trying to take pics by myself.

Any tips or helpful critiques as far a showing and presentation would be appreciated. I will be trying to find a handling class nearby. Found one for puppies, but is during the workday sad :(

Cute puppy!!

One thing I might suggest, when you bait him, bait him with his head aiming down lower (I know its hard in a puppy, but as you get him trained, work on this). That will elongate his neck, and make his neck/shoulder transition look nice and smooth. If his head is held too high/too far back then it can make him appear ewe-necked

hope that helps happy :)

Some updates in case anyone is interested in Tollers.

He is everything I hoped for in a Toller and I love him to pieces. We have started our intro to puppy agility class and he has been shown twice. Here are some recent pictures of him at 6-7 months old:
