The Complete Toller
The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever Owner's Handbook — Choosing, Raising, Training, Health & Real Life With This Rare Breed.
Most breed guides are written from research. This one was written from the kitchen floor — by an owner who lives every day with two Tollers. Crosby and Ember are on the cover, in the stories, and behind every system in the book: the honest 8-question "is a Toller right for you?" test, the breeder-search homework (the DNA panel, the genetics binder, the placement that matters), the Safety Drills that once stopped a bolting dog at an open gate, and the health watch-list every rare-breed owner deserves.
In Canada? Paperback on Amazon.ca · Kindle edition on Amazon.ca (CAD $4.99, free with Kindle Unlimited).
170 pages, 30 photographs, 16 chapters, 4 appendices.
Inside the book
One honest, complete guide — from "should we?" to the senior years.
The famous Toller scream (and how common it really is), the engine and its earned off switch, reserve with strangers — the temperament chapters other books mumble past, told straight from a two-Toller household.
Rare-breed waitlists, the 9-test DNA panel in plain language, the genetics binder, and how a responsible breeder places each puppy by personality, home life, and the work you plan to do together.
The first 30 days as a day-by-day plan, the two-tank exercise system, positive-only training with the family Safety Drills, plain-language health chapters, and the senior years with dignity.
