The coat of the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever is of medium length, waterproof with a soft, dense undercoat. The coat does need to be brushed regularly, a couple of times a week should be sufficient; however, during moulting more attention may be required. They may need the longer hair on their feet and ears tidied up from time to time. Check ears and paw pads for seeds and foreign bodies as part of a regular grooming routine.
