The
Toller
The toller is a very personal dog, that can be
stubborn. It is a dog that needs to work to feel good. What kind of work it is
doesn´t matter, the important thing is that the tollers get an outlet for the
creative energy that they have inside. Hunting, obedience, tracking,
gametracking or searching - the toller loves all work and works with pleasure.
A toller that gets the training it needs is in
most cases a fantastic family dog, they are playful and loves to play with the
children, but at the same time they are calm inside the house.
It is a clever dog that
learn things quickly, but they also make use of their smartness for getting
advantages, and that can be a bit hard for a new dogowner.
The toller is independent and strong-willed, but at the same time they loves to
work and are positive to almost everything.
It is a retrieving bird dog, that are supposed to
"toll", through playing at the beach make the birds come into shooting area, and
then they are going to retrieve when the birds are shot. The toller often needs
to be trained in being passive when other dogs works. For a dog that is
desperately eager to work it is hard to just watch, they want to work themself
all the time...
The toller is like the cavalier and the bernese a real life enjoying dog, that
really knows how to enjoy life!
A toller is not a dog that suites everybody, but with the right owner a toller
is a wonderful dog!
