a wonderful experience, which gave us four fantastic puppies.
In January 2020 our first litter was born, strongly desired and dreamed of so much. Life with a Toller is a colorful life, great swimmers, reliable and attentive trekking companions, precise and tireless workers, lazy and funny dogs from home and especially from the sofa. In January 2017 our beautiful and wonderful Cuba arrives, the one who has allowed us to live so many beautiful adventures. Our passion for Tollers was born in 2014 on an agility field, as soon as we see these beautiful red dogs, fast and precise, we decide to deepen the study of this breed. We live in Cervia in the province of Ravenna, a small town on the Adriatic Sea. As true fans of the retriever world, with many (wonderful) years in the company of our fantastic Labradors, with the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever (also known as “Toller”) it was love at first sight. Also information from the US Club can be found at. Please remember to ask to see copies of health clearances on the parents of any litter you contemplate and please go to for links to an excellent site on Toller health which will help you to understand why it is necessary to ensure that the parents have had all the proper tests. Quality breeders are careful to make sure that dogs used for breeding are healthy and possess the qualities important in the breed. Most Tollers sold in the US and Canada are sold on Non-Breeding Agreements, and must meet certain requirements before they can be used for breeding. We do eye exams on an annual basis, for dogs in the breeding program we also clear for eye problems such as PRA (progressive retinal atrophy) and CEA (collie eye anomaly) and do cardiac and thyroid clearances, as well as all of the DNA testing. We believe that Tollers who are part of a breeding program should go beyond having hips certified by one of the recognized agencies, and eyes cleared by a veterinary ophthalmologist. Tollers are not plagued with many of the genetic health problems present in popular retriever breeds.

To see the full breed standard please go to. Tollers are very intelligent, and will work well when trained with a gentle hand. With strangers, adult Tollers may be leery at first, but there should be no sign of shyness or aggression. Jamie refers to them as “wind-up dogs” since they can be so calm in the house and jump into action at the sight of a bumper or a ball. The correct temperament for an adult Toller is gentleness (especially with children), intelligence, and outgoing in the field. Tollers are happiest when working, and love to retrieve. Owners should channel this energy with regular walks and playtime. Most puppies are on the high energy side. Tollers have a spark of unique individualism. One of the major differences in this breed, when compared to the other retrievers, is its personality. Weight should be in proportion to the height and bone of the dog. Ideal height (at the withers) for males over 18 months is 18-21 in (ideal is 19”) females over 18 months is 17-20 in (ideal is 18”). The pigment of the nose and lips is flesh-colored, or black. Color is various shades of red, and white markings are allowed (but not required) on the feet, chest, tip of tail, and/or blaze. He was bred to retrieve in icy waters, and must have a water-repellant coat of medium length. He should show a high degree of agility and determination. The Toller is a medium-sized, powerful, compact, balanced, well-muscled dog.
