A Breed Apart : Nova Scotia's Duck Tolling RetrieverAuthor: Gail MacMillanSoftcoverPublisher: Nimbus PublishingISBN: 1551094444Size: 108 pages, IllustratedCondition: NewThis is the best-selling story of Nova Scotia's famous tolling dog. The legends and stories of the old tolling men and their dogs of Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia, is part fact and part fiction. Here, at last, is the full story of the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever and the men and women who bred them, trained them and brought them to prominence.The Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever is Canada's first and only true Canadian bred dog. For almost two hundred years the dog was unknown outside of southwestern Nova Scotia. The dog's particular hunting technique, 'tolling', was first recorded in North America by Nicholas Denys and became part of the folklore of the Maritimes. Straight out of 'Ripley's Believe It or Not' is the dog's astonishing ability to lure waterfowl. This powerful and mesmerizing effect in drawing waterfowl toward the shore is just one of the many intriguing secrets associated with this amazing canine. Gail MacMillan became enthralled with Tollers many years ago and became determined to unlock the dog's engaging past.
