About
What is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever?
The smallest of the retrievers, this medium-sized, athletic sporting dog is known for its distinctive reddish coat with white markings and enthusiastic personality. Originally bred for luring and retrieving waterfowl by playing along the shoreline.
Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever history and origins
Developed in early 19th century Nova Scotia, specifically in the Little River Harbour area of Yarmouth County, to 'toll' (lure) ducks within gunshot range by playing along the shoreline, then retrieve shot birds. Recognized by AKC in 2003.
Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever appearance and size
Males typically stand 46-53 cm at the shoulder and females 43-51 cm.
Lo que dice el estándar de la raza
- Criado para
- The Tolling dog runs, jumps and plays along the shoreline in full view of a flock of ducks, occasionally disappearing from sight and then quickly reappearing, aided by the hidden hunter, who throws small sticks or a ball for the dog. The dog’s playful actions arouse the curiosity of the ducks swimming offshore and they are lured within gunshot range. The Toller is subsequently sent out to retrieve the dead or wounded birds
- Comportamiento y temperamento
“The Toller is highly intelligent, easy to train and has great endurance. A strong and able swimmer, he is a natural and tenacious retriever on land and from water setting himself for springy action the moment the slightest indication is given that retrieving is required. His strong retrieving desire and playfulness are qualities essential to his tolling ability”
Quoted from FCI standard n°312. It describes the breed the registry recognises, not any individual animal.

The dog’s playful actions arouse the curiosity of the ducks swimming offshore and they are lured within gunshot range.

Estándar de la raza, FCI; UC Davis Veterinary Genetics Laboratory — Cardiac Laminopathy (CLAM) in the NSDTR. Los animales de un criador pueden diferir de todo esto, y una columna vacía significa que no tenemos nada de ese lado, no que no haya nada que decir.
