- Me and Louie went on a walk in the forest at Løvstakken in Bergen. He is a Nova scotia duck tolling retriever. The woods here has lots of nice rivers and small waterfalls. We often go this rout when we are on our daily walk. It's very peacefull and destressing to walk in the woods! Hope you enjoy it :)
he's just so darn excited to go hiking with his dad! Jumping around, following dad right at his heel. "Dad this is sooooooo fun!"
Hahahah yep 😅😁
Yup. That’s a Toller. Walks 4 Km to your 1 and finds every water hole along the way.
I wondered if this breed had enough energy to hike. This answers my question. Haha More than enough!
Haha, dont think you have to worry about that 😁 he have never runned out of energy on any of our trips 😊
@@henriks1 That's great! Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful content! :)
As I like to say; they’re big enough that I don’t have to carry them for the latter part of a hike, yet small enough that I don’t need to trade my car in for a pickup.
Very similar to my Oti adventure Toller!!
Awesome dog and nature 👍 very nice ..
Thank you, my friend!
There you have a verry keen Dog. He loves to hike whitout a leash.
Thanks😊 he is a really great dog.
Hi i am wanting to get a dog and i am especially looking at the Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever.
I have never owned a dog before, however I have some experience.
If you take your time to answer this it will mean much:
- is the breed they easy to train
- is it good family dog
- is it good with other pets
- is it shy towards strangers?
- is it good guard dog
- can it stay home alone for about 7 hours?
- is it good first time dog?
If u can say something extra that will be nice and have a great day too.
I live in Norway and I like to be outside especially in forests
Hello :) Cool that you want to get a Toller. They are absolutely amazing dogs!
- is the breed they easy to train
Tollers are very intelligent, and usually very easy to train. Something you should have in mind is that they need more mental training than dogs do in general. So they should be able to use their mind to work for about 30 minutes a day. Doing tricks, seeking etc.
- is it good family dog
In general I think they are great family dogs. But outside they can be very active and energetic. If the kids are playing etc, they do want to join (hehe). But in general they do get along with kids etc. Louie are abit careful around kids, and can get a bit afraid/scared if they make a lots of noise etc. As kids are a bit unpredictable, but he gets along with kids in general. He have not been with kids over time yet, I think then he would be more comfortable.
- is it good with other pets
In general I believe that breed gets along with pets very good. Louie is very kind and gets along with all, and if there is anyone want to fight etc, he have until now just looked away and stands still. But they all have their own personality, so you never really know tho.
- is it shy towards strangers?
He is a bit restrictive towards strangers. Not very interested in them outside. A bit more interested inside, but usually he just go and lie down. He dont want to get pet'ed alot by strangers.
- is it good guard dog
Depends how u train him I guess. He is a bit protective of the house. But we have lived in a apartment with lots of noise outside the door etc, he then fast got used to that. But when we moved to a house he got more protective and barking when someone is at the door (happens more rarly and then they always are going to us, so its understandable). I think that just is okey and normal behaviour. But in general they are not very hostile towards strangers I think.
- can it stay home alone for about 7 hours?
I dont think Louie have been that long alone before. I have been studying when I had him, and also now homeoffice etc. But I think that should not be a problem if you give him enough walks and mental stimuli.
- is it good first time dog?
Well, hard to tell. The breed demands abit more than others I think, and they can be a bit stubborn than other dogs. Its important to be strick and gental/loving towards them, and they demand more mental work than many other breeds I think. But in general all dogs do demand alot of time and energy. Also all dogs have diffenrent personality, that is also importalt to think about. He is my first dog tho, but I have grown up with lots of dogs and other animals.
The most important I think is that you are thinking about all the perspectives of having a dog, and that you have time and want to put down the effort. Of course lots can happen in the future, so nobody can really by 100 % sure I guess. Also go on courses can be a good idea, read a bit on having a dog, their behaviour and how their language works can be smart.
It's good that you seek information on having a dog and a Toller, so it seems like something you are thinking through. I love having a dog, and cant see me not having a dog :)
Hi your dog is very sweet 😊 we just thinking about this nova scotia duck to our family with children. Iam ultra trail runner. Do you think this dog may be able to tun with me 2-3 times a week 20-30 km in trial? Thanks
Hi 😊 Ah cool! I think that wont be any problem when he/she gets bit older. Like 1,5/2 years and trained a bit. We dont run that far very often, but some times we have gone on ski that far with some breaks. I havent experienced that he have had any problems getting too tired. But also it depends on the weather if its very hot it might be a bit long without breaks😊
@@henriks1 thanks a lot for answer. Wish all the best
