Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever
Once called the Little River Duck Dog, the Toller was developed in Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia. He's a specialist with waterfowl. His on-shore antics lure curious birds within firing range while the hunter waits in ambush. 'Tolling' is the name for this luring technique and is a trick used by the fox, which is why, at one time, the Toller was thought to be a fox/retriever mix - genetically impossible, of course. What is accepted is that the breed is a mixture of retriever, spaniel, setter and possibly farm collie breeding. It was perfected during the latter half of the 19th century in Yarmouth County and, after having bred true for many generations, was given breed recognition by The Canadian Kennel Club in 1945 and christened the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. This is a powerful, medium-sized sporting dog, intelligent and a keen worker . Males measure 19 to 20 inches at the shoulder and weigh from 45 to 51 pounds; females average one inch less and weigh from 37 to 43 pounds. The coat is medium long with a dense undercoat in red or orange. It may be marked with white on the tip of tail, chest, feet and forehead. The tail is long and heavily coated, full of action when the dog is tolling. Grooming consists of frequent brushing to remove dead hair and keep the undercoat mat-free. Seasonal shedding is to be expected. The Toller makes a fine family pet for most accommodation, enjoys obedience work and should have lots of outdoor exercise.
