Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers, more easily known as “Tollers” are a unique sporting and gun dog. Whilst they look similar to a Golden Retriever, these small retrievers are different in many ways.
Duck Tollers are naturally high energy dogs, as they were bred as gun dogs. Typically, a hunter will hide by some water, and send the dog out into the water (by throwing a ball or stick) and then will call the dog back to the hiding place - wild ducks see this strange orange dog appearing and reappearing, and are inclined to investigate. Once the ducks come close enough, the hunter shoots, and the dog is sent to retrieve the prey.
Thus, Duck Tolling Retrievers are drawn to the water, and love to swim. These energetic dogs are capable of excelling in many sports, such as dock jumping, lure coursing and fly ball.
there was a little leftover light at the end of my client shoot Sunday so I was like oh I’ll get some of my dogs before I head home and the client was like oh I can help!! you never have help with your dogs, this’ll be great!!! and I had to be like you don’t understand, they’re professionals

“The best skater in Canada, 24-year-old Toller Cranston, plays with his English setter, Lapis Lazuli, in his studio in the home of his skating coach, Ellen Burka. Cranston divides almost all his waking time between his two dedications, skating and painting, and tries to bring a new dimension of art to both of them.”
