The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever is a distant relative of the Golden Retriever and their shared ancestral line is very visible. Their appearance, as well as the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever's Temperament, makes them a favourite amongst both new and regular dog's owners.
Described mainly as a loyal dog that devotes its time almost purely to its owner and their families, the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever is a highly intelligent dog breed that appears to find obedience training extremely simple. From an early age, they are able to be taught simple commands, providing a perfect pathway for more complex training at a later stage.
The main difference Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever's have when comparing them to Golden Retriever's is that they are slightly more reserved, especially in the company of new people. They may be quiet and heel beside their owner until they are comfortable with the new people they are presented with.
Naturally, as part of the Retriever breed, Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever's love to retrieve and a game of fetch with a tennis sized ball, thrown by children, is the perfect way to fulfill this need and carry out important bonding with children.
