Bearing an uncanny resemblance to a small Golden Retriever, the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever's likeness to this similar breed doesn't stop there. The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever's Grooming regime is very much like that of a Golden Retriever and requires a lot of time, care and attention.
When Grooming a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, a hard bristled brush should be used first and foremost. As the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever has in effect two coats, Grooming can be a laborious process if it not carried out correctly, which includes using the correct equipment.
Starting at the head of the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, brush firmly but carefully along the natural wave of the coat. Move to the neck and breast of the dog, followed next by their legs and finally their underside.
Be careful not to over groom your Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, as this could cause the natural oils in their coat to disperse, which give their coat a water proof lining. In addition, Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever's shed their coat all year round at a moderate level, meaning two full brushing sessions per week, regardless of the season, should suffice.
