The smallest of the retriever breeds, the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever was developed in Canada to lure — or 'toll' — curious waterfowl within gunshot range by playing along the shoreline, then retrieving the downed birds. They are intelligent, outgoing, and athletic, with a distinctive red coat and a playful, affectionate nature that combines tireless field ability with devoted companionship.
