Looking for the right forever home
We are searching for a very special home for a 4-year-old male Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.
This affectionate, medium-sized boy is eager to please, loves to play, and forms strong bonds with his people. He has a balanced energy level happy to be active, yet able to settle nicely at home. He is well-behaved indoors, non-destructive, and has excellent focus, obedient and a strong desire to please, natural instincts for field or hunting work
IMPORTANT TO KNOW
He has serious reactivity to medical handling and grooming, which requires thoughtful and experienced management.
He is not reactive with other dogs when his personal space is respected, but can react if he feels cornered or pressured.
We are looking for an experienced, calm, and CONFIDENT owner who understands canine body language and is willing to work at his pace. Although he has grown up with children and other dog, we will ONLY consider an adult-only home.
He will also need the support of a behavioral groomer and a patient, understanding veterinary approach to help him feel safe during care routines.
He is currently with us in a training program, with daily positive exposure to muzzle work and grooming handling, and he is making great progress.
This dog is not for everyone , but in the right home, with the right guidance, he is a deeply loyal, loving, and rewarding companion.
Please reach out if you feel you could offer him the safe and understanding home he deserves.
