About Us

It all started with a lifelong mentor and a very special toller, Siera.

About Us


My name is Darlene Lundberg, and I have been proudly breeding high-quality, grand champion show and working Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers under the name Redvine Tollers since 2015. My heart-dog, Siera, was bred by my mentor and best friend, Linda Fitzmaurice of Javahill Tollers, and it was through her that I fell in love with the breed. Linda has been an invaluable mentor to me and is the reason why I am in the breed today.

At RedVine Tollers, we are committed to improving the breed by pairing proven, health-tested, and titled parents with excellent temperament and demeanor. Our tollers are known for their natural hunting abilities and intelligence, making them a versatile dual-purpose breed. I am proud to have co-produced several successful tollers, including Crufts BOB '17 Multi BIS RSM AKC GCH, Lux HR It Ch JavaHill RedHot ShowOff2 RedVine Top Dog 2017 and WW’17 Int Show Ch BIS IT. AKC GCH LUX HR RSM CH JavaHill's RedHot Sensation.

I am located in San Lorenzo, CA, and provide breeder support for life. Redvine only has one to two litters a year, and is still producing high quality duck tolling retrievers, with a litter planned for 2023. Linda is now retired, but she continues to be an important figure in our breeding program and in the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever community.
