Cookie

Cookie is our keeper puppy from our 2024 Nautical litter (Sol x Birdie).

We thought mum Birdie was a relaxed Toller, but Cookie takes the cake. She is such a chilled-out, easy-going puppy and has fit into our home and routine seamlessly.

Cookie started her show career with 2x Best Minor Puppy in Group awards at Dogs Victoria Open Shows.

With just three shows under her belt, she attended the Royal Melbourne Show, Australia’s largest dog show and blew us away. Under Gundog judge Mr Paul Scanlon (Ireland), she was awarded Best Puppy of Breed and Reserve Challenge Bitch to her mum, Birdie. Thank you to Mr Scanlon for this lovely critique of our baby Cookie: “Lovely typey puppy, female. Super head, beautiful expression, good front, good in neck and topline with great angulation behind. Nicely marked and moves so well for a youngster. Lovely picture overall, well done."

I loved this little puppy from the day she was born and it’s so exciting to see the potential I saw in the whelping box maturing in front of me.
