answer · Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever
Yes, my Toller dives into water like it’s his job! I let him swim as much as he wants, but I do keep a close watch. They’re known for their fetching instincts, and it's amazing to see him chase after sticks or balls thrown in. Just be cautious of any currents or deep areas since Tollers can sometimes get too ambitious in their swims.
question · Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever
I threw the ball "just five times"... somehow we were still playing 45 minutes later 😂 Does anyone else's Toller ever get tired?
answer · Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever
Absolutely! My Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever has a playtime radar. The moment he sees me reach for a tennis ball, he's off the charts with excitement. I swear he could give a show dog a run for their money with the way he spins and hops around. It's all part of their charm, and honestly, I don't know who gets more excited, him or me! It's a joy to see that kind of enthusiasm and it makes every game of fetch a blast.

Yes, I would recommend a Toller to first-time owners.
answer · Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever
My Toller enjoys hide and seek. I hide treats around the house and he goes nuts trying to find them!
answer · Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever
I’ve noticed the same with my dog. He gets a spark in his eyes whenever we approach water. It’s hard to keep him out!
answer · Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever
Absolutely, my Toller gives me constant laughs with those famous screams. Anytime he sees another animal or even a squirrel outside, he lets out this exaggerated scream that sounds like he’s auditioning for a musical. It’s so over the top that I can't help but crack up. I’ve learned to appreciate his vocal antics, which are part of the breed charm. It’s also a great way to keep the neighbors entertained!
