Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever

[nobarkus]

This dog was at the dog park yesterday. About 40-45 lbs, super fast and a fairly good temperament. Just very intent on retrieving and not really playing with any of the other dogs. Very intense blue eyes.

again, gorgeous dog. He is only 40-45lbs? He looks bigger..pictures can be deceiving I know, but doesn't he look to be close to 100 lbs?

It's like a small Golden retriever. There was a Golden Retriever there that was very barky, obnoxious and gave Buddy a bad time when we first got there. The Duck Toller dog was quiet and just wanted to chase after the ball.

Dan, I just googled for fun and found a breeder in Alabama that has this "is a Toller for you?" thingy on her website..and what's funny is that alot of the things she has on there sounds just like a Basenji..they scream, they have brains on their own, they do not listen to no, unless you motivate them, they have a huge prey drive, watch your cat and on and on..funny. I might need to get my hubby oine of these fellas. He "wants" a hunting dog, but I don't want a lab..no way. I am looking into Podengo as well, they are cool, too, but this one struck my fancy..

I am not found of Golden Retriever. At home growing up we had English Setter, Irish Setter and English Springer Spaniel had all three at same time. They were grand-dad's hunting dogs they all were loves good dogs. The Irish was my least favorite the other two it was a tie. The only bad thing would be if the English Springer Spaniel got out or loose he would come to school and you here Rita's dog is here. He would find my class come in and sit down by me.

They are pretty cool dogs.... but like the Aussie or Border C.. they need a job or they will find one for themselves and usually not what the owner would like...

They are very cool. I was considering adding one a while back...but can't get past the amount of hair...I really prefer short haired dogs

My brother in law calls them "Thomas Jefferson dogs"...because he thinks they look like a dog version of Thomas Jefferson?!?

Love the pic of the big Dog, he's lovely, never seen or heard of that breed.
Rita Jean you have reminded me of a childhood memory. I grew up with a Samoyd, Ruskie. He used to escape from our back yard and come to pick me up at school. Sometimes the teacher would bring him in if it was near to home time and he would wait whilst we said prayers. I was a very shy child and was mortified by him
I know i've spelt Samoyd wrong but you get the idea
