A little look at life together.
Getting to know the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever
The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever is a small retriever with a red coat and considerable enthusiasm for games and activity. Think about the time available for retrieving games and learning, including days when the weather is uninviting.
An everyday routine
Make space for substantial daily activity and short learning sessions. A busy weekend cannot replace a dependable weekday routine.
Coat care to plan for
A relatively straightforward coat still needs routine checks, appropriate brushing, and attention to nails and teeth. Ask a groomer to demonstrate tools that suit this coat.
Before deciding, meet the individual dog and ask about their history, handling preferences, and current routine. Breed tendencies are a starting point, not a promise about personality.
