Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Toller retriever question

I have a sinking feeling that next week we'll find out our family Golden Retriever of 10 years has cancer. We've had two dogs in our 22 year marriage - both Goldens and both were amazing animals - perfect with our boys and other people.

So - we are thinking about another dog whenever the inevitable happens. I'm a big fan of the Golden and want another, my wife is thinking a smaller (mid sized) dog. I love the looks of the Duck Tolling Retriever and per the breed information they seem to have a similar disposition to a Golden.

What say the folks that have, have had, or have interacted with this breed?

Thanks,

Jeff

Check with member Sactoller...he knows the breed.

They are good dogs in general from my limited experiance. I have hunted over a few and everyone was a solid dog. As ingwe advised Sactoller is the man to ask.

My guess is the Toller is a very good breed. You may want to give the Boykin Spaniel a look too. My Boykin was an incredible dog in many ways.

I've had two males. Both beautiful dogs.They only have one drawback-----They require an awful lot of exercise! They are a very active breed--very kind --very loyal. If you have the space and the time, you can't go wrong. My first one just had to see a gun to run for the truck, and they all love water. Be forewarned,though,they will have you trained in no time!
