Absolutely! My Toller is always happiest at the beach or in a lake. He will literally jump into the water, even if it’s freezing. It's like he has a built-in instinct.

I agree that they can be great for first-timers, but they do need consistent structure. Their playful spirit and energetic nature can be a handful at times, especially if they don't get enough exercise. Just be sure you're committed to their needs.

My Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever is practically a fish! I let her swim whenever she wants, since she gets so much joy from it. However, I do keep an eye on her to ensure she doesn't tire out easily. The breed is known for their love of water and their retrieving skills, which really shows when she splashes around. Just ensure they are safe in the water, especially in unfamiliar places.

My Toller loves playing fetch, but he adds his own twist. He brings the ball back, but instead of dropping it, he makes you chase him for it!

answer · Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever

Totally! My Toller knows the sound of a tennis ball bag from anywhere. The second I grab one, he's ready to go, spinning in circles and jumping around. It's like he's got a sixth sense for the word 'play.' I swear I've seen him leap off the couch just at the sound of the ball bouncing. Their excitement is so pure that you can't help but laugh.

Yes, go for it!

Hiding treats instead of endless fetch has worked wonders for my Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. She gets so excited to search for them, and it really keeps her engaged. I think she enjoys the challenge just as much as playing fetch. It's a nice way to mix things up in our routine.
