Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers are gorgeous, smart, city-sized dogs. Commonly known among fanciers as "Tollers", they are still a fairly rare breed so this may be the first time you've heard of them. They are retrievers and require hours of exercise every week (at least an hour a day is a reasonable goal.) This is a breed who will go running with you, be excellent with your kids, play fetch for hours, and after all that, expect to live in the house and be a part of your family. As a breeder, that's what I expect for my puppies too.

 

Tollers come in varying shades of red and orange only.  They normally have white feet, chest and either some white on the face (such as Curry has, with the full blaze), a little white on the face (Topaz has a smudge on his nose and under his chin) or none, like Splash, all pictured above.

It is considered highly desirable for the dog to have a white tail tip, though within the breed standard not to have it as well.  Curry and Splash have the tail tip, but Topaz, Rhys and Bhindi don't.

 

From the NSDTR Club of Canada's Toller information brochure:

"The hunting world knows Canada to be the haunt of
big game and seemingly unlimited waterfowl.
Canada has also given bird dog enthusiast a most
versatile hunting companion, the Nova Scotia Duck
Tolling Retriever, or Toller, a true Canadian breed.
The Toller is a medium-sized, powerful, compact,
balanced, well muscled dog, with a high degree of
agility, alertness and determination. The ideal height
for males is 48-51 cm (19 to 20 inches) and 20-23 kg
(45 to 51 pounds), with the females being slightly
smaller and weighing 17-20 kg (37-43 lb). Smallest
of all the retrievers, Tollers are agile and eager
hunting companions and also make great pets for
active families. They are highly intelligent, usually
easy to train, have great endurance and are strong
and able swimmers Above all they have highly
charged, often insatiable retrieving instincts. They
are very clean dogs and do not have a strong odour."
