But it is an old breed from the Netherlands whose job used to be to draw ducks out of their cover by walking in and out of the reed fences. I don't believe this game... I don't like swimming - hehehehehheheehe I'm not a water person either and I'm a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever~! I think this game is rigged <G> "The Toller is highly intelligent, alert, outgoing, and ready for action, though not to the point of nervousness or hyperactivity. He is affectionate and loving with family members and is good with children, showing patience. Some individuals may display reserved behavior in new situations, but this is not to be confused with shyness. Shyness in adult classes should be penalized. The Toller's strong retrieving desire coupled with his love of water, endurance and intense birdiness, is essential for his role as a tolling retriever.
