SHORT BREED DESCRIPTION:
The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, also known as the Toller, looks like a small Golden Retriever. This medium-sized, muscular dog is the smallest of the retriever breeds and is known for luring ducks in cold weather and water. The deep chest insulates the dogs from the cold.
Their powerful yet compact build enables them to rush around tirelessly, leaping and retrieving with tail always wagging. Because they were bred to work in icy waters, they have a water-repelling double coat of medium length. A longer coat is not appropriate for a working dog, although the tail feathering should be long, adding to the emphasis of the wagging tail. A white blaze, chest, tail tip, or feet is characteristic.
The Toller’s red or orange coat gives him a foxlike appearance and has even given rise to the idea that he’s the result of a fox-Retriever cross, but that’s a genetic impossibility. Channel his energy into dog sports such as agility, flyball, and flying disc games. Tollers take well to training, like most Sporting breeds, but they are thinkers and they want to do things their own way. With this breed, it’s important to establish rules, be consistent, and, above all, prevent the dog from getting bored. Use positive reinforcement techniques such as play, praise, and food rewards.
The dogs would not bark but use movement to capture the interest of the ducks. Luring or decoying game was described as “tolling,” and this word became associated with these hunting dogs. The American Kennel Club added the breed in 2003 and assigned it to the Sporting Group.
