 Toller Description   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Smallest of the retrieving breeds, the Toller was developed in southwestern Nova Scotia to entice ducks and geese within gunshot range by duplicating the actions of the Eastern red fox.
Using the natural curiosity of the ducks and geese, the fox will engage in all sorts of antics which will result in waterfowl swimming closer until they are near enough to provide the fox with a meal.
Therefore, the tolling dog has a dual purpose, to lure or toll the ducks or geese within gunshot range, and then to retrieve the downed birds.
