The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, affectionately known as the Toller, is a medium-sized sporting breed developed in Nova Scotia, Canada, with a unique and fascinating hunting technique. Tollers lure (or toll) waterfowl within gunshot range by playing and frolicking along the shoreline, arousing the curiosity of ducks who swim closer to investigate. Their beautiful fox-like appearance — with a red or orange coat, white markings, and a bushy tail — makes them as stunning as they are functional.

Naming a Toller should reflect their Canadian maritime heritage, fox-like beauty, and unique hunting purpose. Names inspired by Nova Scotia, the Canadian coast, and water are natural fits. Their striking red coat also provides wonderful color-based naming inspiration, and their playful tolling behavior invites names that capture their energetic, engaging personality.

Tollers are intelligent, outgoing, and tireless working dogs with a playful enthusiasm that makes them excellent family companions. They are the smallest of the retrievers but often the most energetic, with a love of water and an eagerness that makes them outstanding in agility, obedience, and dock diving. Their alert, happy expression and beautiful flowing coat make them head-turners wherever they go. A name that celebrates their unique heritage and joyful spirit is ideal.
