The Nova Scotia Duck-Tolling Retriever does much the same job as the Dutch Kooikerhindje, but uses a different method to trap susceptible ducks and other waterfowl. The constant waving of their tails lures ducks near enough for hunters to shoot them, after which the dogs retrieve them.
The breed stands around 51cm (20in) and has a medium length red or orange coat with plenty of feathering, especially on the tail. This breed is blessed with a cheerful nature and enjoys being taught to be an all around helper. He can make a good member of the household, but it remains yet to be seen whether his number will increase.
