Scooby is a fox red British Lab here for beginning retriever training. Scooby is almost up to JH level in just four months training! This young man comes back just as fast as he goes out, sliding into the heel position and splattering me with mud! He is also very impressive in the water, with an impressive water entry.



Nancy Tucker of Tamarac Tollers and her three Tollers; Brazen, Flight and Breeze, and Dallas a girl we co-own with her primary owner, trains with me every winter for couple of months. Dallas will be back to Cinnstar for completion of her SH training this fall. Want to have fun and learn to train your own Retriever? Come on over and work with us!


KD RN JH is a Blond Conformation bred Golden retriever from Maine, but you would never know it by her flying leap into the water and her love of retrieving. KD is an eager learner and fun to train. KD will be coming back to Cinnstar for the fall of 2015 as we are putting a SH on her. We also will finish her CD obedience and Golden WCX titles in Spring 2016. KD completed her JH in 4 straight tests, and her Rally Novice title in three straight trials with two second places, and now has two Novice Obedience legs with a second and third place. KD's younger sister will also be joining KD this coming Fall for her JH, RN and CD training!


Turquoise CD RN WC is an Apache daughter. Currently we are teaching her to handle and complex marks. High Rolling as you can imagine, Turquoise is quite biddable, and is a water crazed retriever. She thinks that swimming in white caps and through cat tails is FUN! Right now Turquoise needs to grow her coat back to show in conformation. Turquoise completed her CD with a fourth place and titled in Rally Novice in 3 straight trials and Won her class with a perfect score. We bred Turquoise in spring, but it did not take, so she is back in training. She needs one more leg on her JH which we hope to get this fall right before we get her HR and SH titles. Turquoise is also shown periodically in Conformation for her bench CH when we have time.


CH HR Jingle CDX RA SH NA NAJ WCX Jingle is working on her Rally Excellent title. Jingle is the most biddable and easy to train Toller. Just show her what you want, and she does it. In the field, with every test Jingle gains more confidence and enthusiasm. Sadly Jingle had to be spayed while she was pregnant, but she is well now and working hard in training completing her CDX plus an insurance leg in 3 straight trials with a second and two third placements. She completed her RN and RA titles in 6 straight trials.


HRCH NSDTRC/AKC CH Apache CD SH WCX RA Apache was Best of Winners at the NSDTRC (USA) National Specialty 2006! He finished with two other 4 point Best of Winners placements. His first show out as a Special Apache took a Sporting Group 4th! Apache was ready to compete in MH and had one HRCH pass when he had a terrible accident and we didn't know if he would ever be able to complete again in the field. After a year of rest we decided to try and complete his HRCH title this spring, and DID! Apache is working on his CDX obedience title and Rally Excellent title. Apache completed his Rally Novice and Advanced title in 6 straight trials and won a second place in Novice and a Fourth in Advanced with a score of 99.


CH Flare CD WCI CD WCI. AKC CH from the Bred By Exhibitor Class, 4 Majors, 5 Best Of Breeds, CD and WCI. Qualified for the AKC Eukanuba Nationals. Flare is my official set up dog for marks.


Recent Cinnstar Graduates

CH Maple CD RN is Luna's dam. In Two months of training she was ready and passed three straight Novice B Obedience trails including a 195.5! Maple is an avid retriever and LOVES those ducks!


Luna RN is a Flash daughter, who actually reminds me more of Ian (the ONLY Toller with Field CH points) her grand-sire. This pint sized dynamo is smart, tough, and ready to take on the world. Luna completed her Rally Novice title in three straight trials and received a 4th place and has one leg on her CD. She now lives in Colorado where her owners will complete her CD and plan on agility competitions.



Loki Loki is a young Toller boy that was here for basic retriever training and obedience. He has a very sweet, but active temperament. We are sure he will do his owners proud.


Gunner is an Apache son, and his excitement is contagious. This young dog can easily go anywhere his owners want him to go. Gunner will be back at Cinnstar to complete and compete in JH and WC.


Ali RN is from my very first client who sent me Kerner and Pinot to train back in 2000 when I first turned professional. So it is only fitting that Ali was the first retriever sent to me when I opened up in Sulphur Springs. Ali is here for JH, WC, SHR and Novice Obedience training. We just got Ali's Rally Novice title in three straight trails and he now has 2 legs on his CD including a third place.

Jester is an incredibly talented field bred Golden Retriever that has tons of water courage. Jester received his basic retriever training here at Cinnstar and his owner continued Jester's training and received his HR title as well as his JH and SHR titles. Jester and his owner train with me regularly for continued training.

Lulu was here for basic obedience training, both on leash and off. She is a sweet girl, but certainly can have a mind of her own. She now is back with her owners, a wonderful companion that can go to restaurants in Dallas that allow well behaved pets.

W Boykin Male. W is one of the nicest Boykins I have seen in a while. Very biddable and eager to learn. Beginning Retriever Training.

TRI Rescue Gus Gus came to Cinnstar because he has such severe separation anxiety that he gets incredibly destructive when left alone in a home. He even broke his canine tooth trying to escape from a crate and went through glass windows. He had no appetite and had to be kept on drugs. Since coming here he now can perform basic obedience commands, likes to ride in the dog truck and in a crate in the car, and can stay in a crate for a short while with no anxiety. He is off any meds, now up to his correct weight and one happy dog. Consistency is the key. Gus went to his Forever Home in April 2012! (Donated Training)
