Zephyr Kennel - Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers
So you think you want a Toller...
We think Tollers are wonderful but do not recommend them for everyone. Tollers are energetic,
intelligent dogs that require daily mental and physical exercise. If your normal routine consists

appropriate canine companion for you. On the other hand, if you like doing things outdoors and
have a great throwing arm, or enjoy actively participating in one or more various dog sports
(hunting, agility, obedience or flyball to name a few), then a Toller may be just the dog for you.

throw the ball which he has cleverly dumped into your shoe for the 20th time in a most
persistent manner.
Tollers have also been known to do the following:
