The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever is certainly a mouthful to pronounce and they have quite the personality to match. These dogs are high energy, playful, curious and great workers! They also have plenty of affection for the owner or family. NSDTRs gained acclaim for their unique style of waterfowl retrieving called "tolling" and are eager to please hunting companions. Although they may be low maintenance grooming, they need a ton of daily exercise and may not be easily trained by an inexperienced owner. They are great with kids, other pets and athletic individuals but can be reserved around strangers-- although they are not watchdogs or guard dogs. Finally, they are pretty healthy dogs that can live up to 14 years so you may want to consider all the responsibility before choosing this breed!
