Novia Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers were taught the skill of duck hunting way back in the day. They excel at this due to their high energy, medium-sized builds, and webbed paws. Tollers are impressive swimmers and fast runners that are very talented at catching waterfowl out on the ponds and lakes. These dogs are some of the best duck hunters around. Their movements closely imitate foxes, the way they look out for the ducks on the water, and the way they go about in a curious nature. These dogs give 100% in everything they do and try to avoid shortcuts. Tollers jump into their activities wholly and would highly appreciate a large, energetic family to match their lifestyle.
