Editorial Policy

Our goal is to be the most trustworthy resource for the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. This policy explains how we create and maintain content.

Who writes our content

Content is written and maintained by Michael Petitpas, a Toller owner in Nova Scotia with daily, firsthand experience of the breed, who also builds dog-care apps for owners. Lived experience is combined with authoritative sources below.

Sources we rely on

• American Kennel Club (AKC) — breed standard and profile
• Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) — country-of-origin standard
• Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) — health testing
• AKC Canine Health Foundation — breed health research

Review and updates

Pages display a “last updated” date. We review core guides periodically and when standards, health guidance, or our own experience change. Article structured data records publish and modification dates.

Corrections

Not veterinary advice

Our content is educational and never a replacement for individualized advice from a licensed veterinarian. See our Terms of Use.
