Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever
The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, fondly known as a "Toller," is a medium-sized, highly energetic, and intelligent breed renowned for its remarkable hunting and retrieving skills. Originating in Nova Scotia, Canada, these dogs were specifically bred for their unique ability to "toll," or lure, ducks and other waterfowl into shooting range by playfully engaging them from shore before retrieving them for hunters. Tollers are easily recognized by their striking, fox-like appearance, featuring a dense double coat in shades of red or orange and often accented with white markings. This athletic breed is both agile and swift, making them excellent companions for active families or individuals who enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking or swimming. Highly trainable and eager to please, Tollers thrive on mental stimulation and physical exercise, excelling in various canine sports as well. Known for their affectionate and socially engaging personalities, they form strong bonds with their families and are typically good with children and other pets. Despite their medium size, their boundless enthusiasm and spirited nature allow them to fill a home with joy and liveliness.
