(nsdtrc-usa.org) You'll get the newsletter and be able to read and learn more about the breed. If you introduce the puppy to the cats, you should have no trouble. Adult Tollers may chase cats! You will have a blast training a Toller for agility & obedience. (Positive motivational traning!) In the meantime, read Karen Pryor books & watch her videos.

If you did get a puppy, be prepared for whining and needing to take it out every 2 hours day AND night. They're great dogs, but pretty rare. This should be a good resource, as well as any Yahoo! Groups you can find: http://www.nsdtrc-usa.org/ Good luck! ETA: Joining the breed club for any of these breeds, or finding out if you can go to events so you can be around all these different types of dogs, is a great idea. Another thing you may want to consider, especially with the demands of a puppy, is rescue. Labs and Goldens especially are left in shelters. You could get an adult dog (or an older puppy) that's been potty trained and knows some tricks, and would still be a great candidate for agility or other fun things.<br><b>References : </b><br> A Toller might chase your cats, but cats have been known to play with dogs, too.

A reputable breeder would be able to answer temperment questions, health concerns, and answer your questions about prey drive (compatability with cats), which I would think would be high, based on what these dogs were bred for. However, if you bring in a puppy, I think the cats would have more issue with the puppy, rather than the puppy getting after the cats. They can learn to coexsist, but your cats may have more trouble than you think. Start here: http://www.akc.org/breeds/nova_scotia_duck_tolling_retriever/index.cfm This is the AKC site and you can look for a breeder in your state. If you don't find one close to you, you can always email one in a neighboring area that should be able to help you!

Has anyone had any experience with this breed? If so, would you recommend it? I am only 13 now, but will be 15 by the time we get the dog. My mother and I will be out all day (I go to school and my mother is a teacher), but we would arrange for someone to drop in around midday to check on/feed/play with the puppy. I would walk the dog twice a day (in the morning and afternoon), and train it for agility. I have trained a dog before, but never owned one (neither has my mother). Is there anything I should know in particular about this breed? Also, what is their compatibility with cats? We have two cats who live outside during the day and inside at night. Would a Duck Toller chase them, and if so could that habit be cured with good training? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. My next choices, in order, are: Flat Coated Retrievers, English Springer Spaniels, Golden or Labrador Retrievers, or maybe an Australian Shepherd. Information on these breeds would also be useful. Thank you. Any advice on Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers?
