Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever

The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever is the smallest retriever breed, developed in Canada to lure and retrieve waterfowl with its playful, fox-like movement. Tollers are bright, athletic, and deeply devoted to their families, thriving when given daily training and vigorous activity. Their combination of work ethic, sensitivity, and lively personality makes them both a capable sporting partner and an engaging companion.
