Spock, officially NEXTGENERATION PEAKPERFORMANCE Dancing with Fire, is our second toller that has come from the „Dancing with Fire” kennel from Krakow (Poland). His parents, Kalmegess’ CANADIAN RANGER (Ranger) and Stonaway’s SKY TRINITY (Trin), were imported from Canada.
When we decided to have our second toller, we wanted a dog with a huge 'will to please’ and a great working potential to meet our ambition and goals in obedience and dummy training. Trin won us over with her temperament, diligence, focus, drive, and the style of work. The pedigree of the 'Next Generation’ litter riveted us with the numerous work titles won by Spock’s ancestors, including the famous Westerlea Elias’ Tidal Wave (Chelsea), a splendid bitch with a stellar track record of hunting titles. In this line there are also many dogs from the appreciated Foxgrove Kennel.
Spock is a dog fixed on his humans with great '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 problems with his character, the dog is non-combative and quite responsive to call offs.
With his superior physical fitness, the dog is very agile and highly maneuverable. His dummy work is very important to him, and Spock shows this with great speed and tenacity, perfectly negotiating all shrubs and bushes in his way.
Spock is also an excellent swimmer with a great water courage. He is eager for work to the point of actually squealing of impatience and excitement. We have been slowly but successfully taming his emotions, although this takes a lot of time and his urges must (unfortunately!) be phased out a little bit.
Spock has passed dummy competitions, Working Tests, official and unofficial tolling hunting tests. He passed an official Polish hunting test for retrievers and got the Working Class Certificate (WCC) issued by the Polish Kennel Club. He is also the only Polish Toller that passed the tolling hunting tests (Tollingjaktprov) in Sweden.
What’s most important for us, Spock is a proven hunting dog, used for duck, goose and pheasant hunting.
Spock’s performance in obedience training is a bit different than his dummy practice. 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, my relation with dog is extremely important. Spock needs to have immediate feedback of his performance and needs know when I am really satisfied with his work. As he senses and takes the stress and anxiety of his handler, my clear head and attitude are a bit a key to success.
In obedience training, where precision is required, we need to keep the criteria and remember to only reward him in the right spots or moments. Spock is a quick learner and easily remembers the performance he is rewarded for. The work with Spock must be based on many positive and quick adjustments in short and intensive sessions. His strengths include dynamic exercises and a proper balance between motivation with food and toys.
Both with Weezy and Spock we are the members of the Na Fali Obedience Team (Poland) where we train with Joanna Hewelt. In 2019 Spock won the Polish Obedience Championships in class 2 and is now competing in the international class 3 (elite).
Spock is available at stud selectively to approved, health tested bitches.
