Nova Scotia Duck Tolling RetrieverThe Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever is another wonderful Hunting Dog Breed. Like most retrieving dogs they are sweet, loving, gentle and loyal. They do share a common trait of some other hunting dog breeds in that they can be suspicious of new people. This can be overcome. Duck Toller Size and AppearanceDuck Tollers are adorable dogs!

But overall they are wonderful companies with a lot of energy. They love to play fetch and love to run. They are also gaining popularity as agility dogs.If you walk a Toller off leash you might find that they will sniff out and chase birds. If you let a toller go it will get down and dirty swimming or searching through bush as that is similar to what they were bred to do. They are very energetic dogs and require a great deal of daily physical exercise and mental stimulation. Like most other sporting dogs they can become destructive if these needs are not met.
