I got my chocolate from Lola Nichol at Maktawae Kennels. She breeds great dogs where show and field lines meet. Maktawae Luke Bo Duke is almost 5 months old. He is smart as a whip and nice and calm not a high energy balls out all the time field trial dogs.
So many awesome breeders in Ontario it's hard to go wrong. I wouldnt buy a dog out of a backyard with no papers or pedigree. Unless that's your thing.
Unfortunately Ontario has it's fair share of mediocre breeders also.

Just a couple of comments:
Ontario like any other place has it's share of mediocre or poor breeders. That is usually the case. Take time to research before buying etc........
"not a high energy balls out all the time field trial dogs. " is a very inaccurate statement that continues to be made . Field trial dogs are just....field trial dogs and are reflective on how they are brought up....just like children. Mine are well mannered in the house and clearly have an 'off' switch . They lay on the carpet in front of the TV or in the kitchen or in the trailer if we are away.
People who complain about their behaviour need to be just a bit reflective on how they brought their dog up....you know you get what you allow......

My field bred Springer is very good in the house but I do have to close the blinds because she runs from window to window looking for birds LOL. She obeys all her commands but I am sure not all field lines are the same and do not come with an off switch. That would take many years in a breeding program to produce such an animal...but they do exist.

I think certain breeds have more of a tendency to have that off switch but of course you get what you condone. My guy just turned 18 months and I don't know if its the age or the heat but I think he's finding his switch hahahaha. Puppies are naturally going to be a bit more wound up - trial breeding or not, they're babies.

Everyone was helpful but the person who gave me Dave's Thomas' number was how I ended up finding one at a reasonable price
