Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever
The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever is a new addition to the American Kennel Club and looks like a small Golden Retriever. This dog loves the water and is an excellent family pet.
History
The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, also called the toller, originated in Nova Scotia, Canada. They were developed in the early 1900s to toll (lure) ducks into shooting range and retrieve them from the water after being shot. The dog would run and play along the edge of the water in view of ducks, usually in response to the owner throwing sticks or balls. This playful activity would pique the curiosity of the ducks, which would then swim closer to see what was going on and be lured into shooting range. Prior to the 1950s, the breed was known as the Little River duck dog or the Yarmouth toller. When the Canadian Kennel Club began registering the breed, the name was changed to the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. In 2003, the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever was accepted into the American Kennel Club as a member of the sporting group.
Appearance and Size
The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever is a medium sized retriever that is the smallest of the retriever group. The dog looks similar to a small Golden Retriever. The head of the toller is wedge shaped and the triangular shaped ears are set high and fold forward. The facial expression appears somewhat sad but becomes very excited when the dog goes to work. The coat of this retriever must be water-repellent and double to keep the dog warm when retrieving from icy waters. The double coat is medium length as soft. It is usually straight but may have a slight wave. The tail is well feathered. The color of the coat is a shade of red or orange with some white markings. The adult Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever stands around 17 to 21 inches at the shoulder and weighs about 35 to 50 pounds.
Personality
The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever is a fun-loving and affectionate dog but may be a little shy around strangers. The toller loves the water and is happiest when out on the hunt. As with other retrievers, this dog is playful and full of energy with a strong retrieving desire.

A goodbye tribute to Jesse, my Nova Scotia Duck Toller. I will miss him with all my heart and soul. 2001 - 2011. From Joshua.... NOTE: Joshua is a special needs young man with cerebral palsy. Jesse, a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever had his life cut short when stricken with canine leukemia. Jesse was Josh's one true best friend -- he loved Josh unconditionally and vice versa. When we first got a Toller, we were concerned that this high-energy, excitable breed might not have been the best choice for Josh.
