Today's daily puppy is Riley the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. This little one is a sweetie with such a long breed name!
The history of the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever is rather literal. Toller, as is known, is playful outdoors especially along shorelines, chasing balls or sticks. This energy often catches (or tolls, lures) the attention of nearby ducks, who (sadly) come within shooting range. The dog then retrieves the dead or wounded bird. Early generations of this breed date back to the 19th century when Europeans brought red decoy dogs to Nova Scotia (this breed has shades of red).
The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever is active as a water dog, loving, good with children, and intelligent. Maintenance is minimal. For more detailed information, visit American Kennel Club at http://www.akc.org/breeds/nova_scotia_duck_tolling_retriever/.
