Spock, officially NEXTGENERATION PEAKPERFORMANCE Dancing with Fire comes from the „Dancing with Fire” kennel in Krakow (Poland). His parents, Kalmegess’ CANADIAN RANGER (Ranger) and Stonaway’s SKY TRINITY (Trin), were imported from Canada.
When we decided to get our second Toller, we wanted a dog with a strong 'will to please’ and a great working potential to match our ambition and goals in obedience and dummy training. Trin won us over with her temperament, diligence, focus, drive, and work style. The pedigree of the 'Next Generation’ litter captivated us with the numerous working titles earned by Spock’s ancestors, including the famous Westerlea Elias’ Tidal Wave (Chelsea), a splendid bitch with an outstanding track record of hunting titles. This line also includes many dogs from the respected Foxgrove Kennel.
Spock is a dog who is very attached to his humans and has a strong 'will to please’. He is a cuddly little fellow who follows our every step. We like to call him a good boy; there have been no issues with his character – he is non-combative and quite responsive to call-offs.
With his superior physical fitness, Spock is very agile and highly maneuverable. His dummy work is extremely important to him, and he shows this with great speed and tenacity, expertly navigating all shrubs and bushes in his way. Spock is also an excellent swimmer with great water courage.
Spock has passed dummy competitions, Working Tests, official and both unofficial tolling hunting tests. He passed an official Polish hunting test for retrievers and earned the Working Class Certificate (WCC) issued by the Polish Kennel Club. He is also the first Polish Toller that passed the tolling hunting tests (Tollingjaktprov) in Sweden.
Most importantly, Spock is a proven hunting dog, used for duck, goose, and pheasant hunting.
Spock’s performance in obedience training differs somewhat from his dummy work. In dummy training, he responds well to pressure, new challenges, and difficult exercises, as the dummy work is self-rewarding for him. In obedience training Spock needs immediate feedback of his performance and must know when I am truly satisfied with his work. Since he senses and takes on the stress and anxiety of his handler, my clear head and attitude are key to our success.
In obedience training, where precision is required, we need to keep the criteria and reward him only at the right moments. Spock is a quick learner and easily remembers the behaviors that are rewarded. Working with Spock must be based on frequent, positive, and quick adjustments in short, intensive sessions. His strengths lie in dynamic exercises and a proper balance between motivation based on food and toys.
With all our dogs we are members of the Na Fali Obedience Team (Poland) where we train with Joanna Hewelt and Magdalena Stodułko. In 2019, Spock won the Polish Obedience Championships in class 2 and is now competing in the international class 3 (elite). In 2023 he earned the Polish Obedience Champion of Retrievers tile (OB3).
Spock is available at stud selectively to approved, health-tested bitches. Frozen semen is also available.
