The Nova Scotia Duck-Tolling Retriever.

I often think about finding a dog that I can run with. So part of the key to that is finding a dog that likes to be active. And it is important to find a dog that is trainable.

Watching the Nova Scotia Duck-Tolling Retriever move through an agility course demonstrates taht this breed has both of those qualities.

As evidenced by the mud spattered all over the hurdle they also don’t mind getting a little dirty. This is great as runnign can be a little messy. It can especially be messy out on the trails where I prefer to run.

I would love to have an opportunity to run the trails with a Nova Scotia Duck-Tolling Retriever some time in my future.
