Puppies coat grow a darker red with age. This breed’s name derives from the Canadian province and an unusual hunting technique used there. The hunter throws a “tolling stick” for his dog to go after and play with at the water’s edge, prompting ducks to respond to the commotion, at which point the hunter shoots them and the dog retrieves them. The Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever is one of the newest dog breed in the world; it was recognized by the KC in the 1980’s but the AKC did not acknowledge it until 2003, it is a bright, good-natured, capable dog that is becoming increasingly popular as a household pet. Although they have a relatively high-pitched bark, duck tolling retrievers are generally quiet.
They are also faithful and love to be pampered. An owner says, “If you own this dog along with other dogs or animal, it is difficult to love them equally. But if you want to keep only one dog, this breed may be the best.” Duck tolling retrievers, naturally love to frolic in water, and their need for plenty of exercise should be accommodated.
Occasional brushing is sufficient, though they lose a lot of hair when they shed each year.
