Where Every Paw Feels at Home.
Also known as Toller, Little River Duck Dog
A fox-red water dog with boundless drive and a game for everything
The Toller is the smallest retriever, bred in Nova Scotia to lure ducks within range with playful movement, then retrieve them. It is bright, driven and very keen on fetch and water, and needs plenty of physical and mental work to stay balanced.

Best-matched service
Around 105 minutes a day for a healthy adult, with fetch, swimming and mental games as well as walks. They are very energetic and thrive with a job.
Yes, if the family is active. Tollers are affectionate and good with children, but can be busy and need firm, kind boundaries.
They can be vocal, with a distinctive high-pitched scream when excited. Regular exercise and calm-training help, but expect some noise.
