Boone’s story began not with a plan, but with a twist of fate—and a well-timed girls’ trip.
Tyler Toney had always dreamed of having a duck dog, a loyal companion to join him on hunts. His wife, Bethany, had been asking for a third dog for some time, but the timing never seemed quite right. Ironically, it was while she was away that everything started to fall into place.
While she was on vacation, Tyler happened to run into Boone’s breeder, who mentioned they had a six-month-old Red Fox British Labrador showing great promise—not only as a skilled retriever, but as a calm, family-friendly companion. Intrigued, Tyler brought up the idea. The day his wife returned home, Boone came over for a trial visit to see how he would fit in with the family—and he never left.
Boone quickly proved to be the perfect addition. With his country-charming name, Boone Dock Toney, he embodied everything the family was looking for: strong and focused in the field, but gentle and easygoing at home. He’s become both an outstanding duck dog for Tyler and a beloved sidekick to their three boys, who take him on endless adventures around their home in Celina and out on the family ranch in Sadler.
Boone even has a touch of celebrity—he appeared in Dude Perfect’s “Pets Stereotypes” video on YouTube, with his famous dad, Tyler Toney of Dude Perfect.
Though he’s laid-back most of the time, when it comes to retrieving, Boone flips a switch. He gives every hunt his all, impressing everyone with his drive and discipline. The family hopes to breed him in the future so that one day, each of their boys can have a “Boone” of their own.
Boone may have started as a spur-of-the-moment visit, but he quickly became a forever part of the family—a loyal, loving dog with a true heart for both the hunt and home. He is a Dog Perfect.
