The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, or "Toller," is a medium-sized sporting dog bred to lure and retrieve waterfowl. With their fox-red coat and high energy, they're intelligent, athletic, and incredibly enthusiastic about work and play. They're affectionate with family and thrive on activity.
Tollers need vigorous daily exercise—swimming, retrieving, and agility are perfect outlets. Their water-repellent coat requires regular brushing. They're intelligent and trainable but can be vocal and energetic. For active families who love water sports and outdoor adventures, the Toller is an exceptional companion.
