Breed Standard The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, also known as the Toller or Little River Duck Dog, is a medium sized retriever that originated in Canada. Tollers are known as good family pets and hunting companions that are easy to train and easy to care for. The Toller is a good pet for a family that enjoys outdoor activity.
Tollers are easy to train and adore playing games like fetch.
When training a Toller, the handler should attempt to make the training fun, as young dogs can become bored quite easily. Tollers are good with children and other animals, provided they're socialized at a young age. Tollers are very protective of their family. Tollers make good watchdogs, as they will sound an alarm as a stranger approaches. However, they are not particularly aggressive and are not good guard dogs.
