Learning About a New Dog

Posted by Joy Butler Jun 8, 2006

I love to hear about the dogs in other people's lives. Recently Rosemary Drisdelle, writer of the Birds topic here at Suite, told me about her sister's dog, Tyler, who is a Novia Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. What a long name for a medium sized dog! The breed was developed for duck hunters and was named for the area where they originated but apparently, they make excellent pets! Rosemary tells me that Tyler is a very energetic dog who gets along great with people and other dogs and loves to take walks in the woods. She also sent me pictures. I love his intelligent looking face and the deep red coat! I did a little more research on this fascinating breed and wrote the article, Nova Scotia Duck Tollers. If you have a wonderful dog in your family, I would like to hear from you. Email me at dogs@suite101.com
