Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The practice of luring game to shore with the use of small animals dates back to antiquity. But only the Nova Scotia–bred retreivers perform the added service of fetching the prize for their masters. This is the best-selling story of the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever and the men and women who bred them, trained them and brought them to prominence. These intelligent fox-like dogs with red coats and distinctive markings have found a place in the hearts of thousands of owners in Canada and across the United States as both sporting dogs and family pets.

About the Author
Gail MacMillan became enthralled with Nova Scotia Duck Tollers many years ago and became determined to unlock the dog's engaging past.

5.0 out of 5 stars A prize!, January 16, 1999
By A Customer
This story of dogs bred to attract ducks is more than entertaining. Gail MacMillan takes the reader back from the show dogs, the registered Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers, back to the Little River Duck Dogs, and to their owners who have, for centuries now, kept these beautiful dogs. Toller, retriever, and family pet, the Little River Duck Dog is a prize and so is the book by Gail MacMillan.

A great book about Nova Scotia's Little River tolling retrievers which are bred to ATTRACT as well as retrieve ducks. Lots of background stories about the breeders and owners of these dogs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful stories about the Little River Dog and its owners, January 6, 1999
By A Customer
Gail MacMillan, has, with a great deal of sensivity brought together stories about the Little River Duck Dog (from Nova Scotia) and the people who have bred them over the years. Archival photos show the delightful dog, their owners, and the the love that takes place......
