#ducktollingretriever #NovaScotiaDuckTollingRetriever #dogbreeds
The Duck Tolling Retriever is generally a good family dog. They are friendly, loyal, and affectionate to their owners, and they get along well with children and other pets if properly socialized. They are also highly intelligent and eager to please, which makes them easy to train and great at obedience work. Additionally, they are versatile and can be trained for various tasks such as hunting, retrieving, and agility. However, their high energy levels and need for mental stimulation may make them a challenge for some families, and they may be prone to separation anxiety and destructive behavior if not properly exercised and trained. Ultimately, the decision to adopt a Duck Tolling Retriever should be based on an owner's ability to meet their needs and provide them with the necessary care and attention.

I would not consider NSDTR’s to be minimal shedding.

While it's true that individual experiences may vary, many owners find that Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers (NSDTRs) generally have a moderate shedding level. Their double coat, consisting of a dense undercoat and a water-resistant topcoat, requires regular grooming to manage shedding. Factors such as age, health, and the specific genetics of each dog can influence shedding. It's always helpful to share personal experiences and insights, as they contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the breed. If shedding is a significant concern for potential owners, it's advisable to consult breeders or current NSDTR owners for more information on individual dogs' shedding tendencies.

I think it depends on the dogs you've had previous to your toller. Compared to Bobo(not a toller) Billy has zero shedding.
My thoughts are if you're energetic as your toller, you don't mind dragging the vacuum around the house every day or two
