Toller - a northern pearl

The first time I saw an adult Toller I thought it was an oddly colored Border Collie. Turns out they're not even remotely related. Shows how much I really know about dogs... Alternately, the first place my mind goes to.

The Toller is a Canadian breed, and the real name is Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. 

It is a medium sized dogs bred primarily for hunting, and they're known for being athletic, compact, balanced, and powerful.

Tollers are generally very intelligent and affectionate, and they have a lot of energy.

The Toller was bread to retrieve from icy waters, and they have a water-repellent double coat with a soft and dense undercoat. They're generally red with a pale nose, and have webbed feet.
